Plot[]
Tyrone is despondent as he wants to buy a car but he only has £120. Curly doesn't get the job in Scotland, Nita does. This pleases Curly, Nita and Emma. Sarah finally admits to Gail that her main concern is having to leave school and her mates behind. Gail says she will give up work and look after the baby so that Sarah can stay at school. Mrs Gardner, a debt collector, shows up at the factory looking for Gwen. Janice covers for Gwen telling the debt collector that she left ages ago. Gwen later admits to Janice the scale of her debts. Geena and Bobbi agree to look for a flat together. Norris tells them about the salon flat. Jack suggests to Tyrone that to raise some funds for a car he could let Monica have pups. Gail tells Martin that they will be dependent upon his sole salary when the baby is born. Martin realises that his future with Rebecca is looking more and more remote. Rich Raven turns up with a message from Jez. Jez wants to see Steve. Steve is terrified.

Notes[]
- Gail Platt tells Martin that Roy Cropper won't mind if she pops home from work, then later asks Toyah Battersby to hold the fort in the cafe for ten minutes until Roy gets back. This creates a continuity error, since Roy does not return from his holiday in Norfolk until Episode 4825 (21st May 2000).
- TV Times synopsis: Steve receives a shocking request from Jez. Gwen is horrified when a debt collector comes calling.
