Plot
Vinny is put out when Duggie cuts his wages, telling that him times are hard. Tyrone and Maria plan their engagement party. Tyrone hopes his mum will come. Sarah and David miss having Martin around. He promises them that he'll always be around for them. Dev offers Duggie a cash deal on his house, £50,000 less than the asking price. Duggie is forced to accept. Linda and Mike return to work, pretending they had a great honeymoon. Mark sends Mike a letter telling him that he told Alma about the affair. Mike demands to know why Alma didn't tell him. When she hears Martin has bought David a present, Gail accuses him of trying to win him over. She tells him they must create rules and keep to them. Debs is thrilled when Duggie asks if he can move in with her. Two armed youths, Dean Sykes and Lenny Larkin, hold up Freshco's at closing time.
