Plot
Janice is worried she'll get the sack for taking unauthorised time off work for the bar manager's job, but Mike lets her off with a warning. Deirdre overhears Dev making a restaurant reservation and thinks it is for her. Peter Hartnell visits Roy and Hayley and warns them that if they try and see Wayne again their application may be rejected. Danny admits to Sally that he found Christmas hard because he felt left out. Sally promises to make sure he never feels like this again, but he is not convinced. Peter Barlow crashes Ken's car but he has a driving ban so he gave Ken's name at the accident scene and now asks him to lie to prevent him from going to prison. Jack and Vera leave for their three-week cruise. Deirdre is humiliated when Geena turns up for a date with Dev instead of her. Les is angry that he and Janice were not chosen for the bar manager position.
