Plot[]
Edna has enough when she witnesses Linda rowing with Deirdre and accusing her of being Ken's mole. She reveals that she gave the story to Ken. Kevin returns from Germany and tells Sally he wants to see more of the girls. She agrees. Duggie gives Vinny a van to drive round in and a list of his properties. Jeff and Doreen turn up at the Park Road B&B together, saying they're back together. The Duckworths have no choice but to hand Tommy over to them. Linda tells Mike that Edna was the mole but urges him not to turn her into a martyr by sacking her. Mike tells the workers that there'll be no bonuses as Edna is producing too many rejects. She admits to being the mole and threatens a strike if she's sacked but no one backs her up. Mike sacks her. David doesn't like any of the dogs at the rescue centre so takes a rabbit called Barney instead. Kevin tells Jim he's no longer selling the garage. Jim is disappointed but still has Natalie's share. The Underworld girls get at Edna for letting Deirdre lose her job. Emily entertains Norris, Anthony and Rita. Norris has a little game, getting the others to guess the contents of his pastry parcels, and is put out when Anthony guesses them all correctly. After their lovely evening, Rita is pleased when Anthony kisses her.
