Plot[]
Danny and Frankie are excited when Warren's picked for the Weatherfield County FC first team. Warren's hung-over but Jamie manages to cure him. Violet brings the offending dress back but Shelley insists she keeps it. Tracy pops into the taxi office and insists on giving Steve a packed lunch which she's made. Steve tells her to leave him alone and gives the lunch to Eileen. Craig and Rosie listen to hardcore goth-rock music in Craig's bedroom then they go shopping to a clothes shop called "The Abyss". Tommy and Angela take the mickey. The Baldwin family (including Mike and Adam) plus Candice get ready to go to the football match to support Warren. Charlie gives Shelley another dress but this time it's the right size. Warren's disappointed to find himself on the subs' bench. Craig and Rosie arrive back in matching long black coats. Warren gets called on at the very last minute. The whistle blows and Warren kicks the ball away in frustration. The referee books him with a yellow card. Shelley tells Charlie she's changed the dress for a smaller one, she's now on a diet and intends to wear it for Valentine's Day. Charlie's secretly pleased as this is what he intended to happen.
