Plot[]
Spider looks for a job and is alarmed when he has to undergo a restart interview at the job centre. He has objections with all the jobs available to him and thinks it's hysterical when he's offered canal dredging with Les. Toyah and Spider move into the bedsit and set about turning it into a home. To prove a point to Natalie, Sharon takes Ian for a drink in the Rovers. She assures him that she and Natalie are good mates now. Ian is uncomfortable talking to Natalie again. Rita sees them together in the pub and is furious. Maxine is stunned when Doreen moves her bags into No.4, having left a note for Derek on the fridge door, saying she's left him. Mike is jealous of Linda working with Paul Wheeler and isn't amused when she tells him that she's having a great laugh with him. Ian is stunned when he hears how Sharon rowed with Natalie in the pub and has only brought him in to get at her. He walks out on Sharon, accusing her of using him to score a point.
