Fred considers buying Dev's share in Street Cars. He borrows the accounts to look them over. Tracy tries to convince Roy and Hayley that Steve abducted Amy. Scooter appears in court. Gail is a character witness. The magistrate finds him guilty, fines him £100 and gives him community service. Deirdre's amazed when Blanche says that she's been out at a whist drive. Danny's mum Viv arrives. She's very friendly towards Mike. Frankie tells Penny that Viv needs watching when it comes to men. Scooter tells Sarah how he enjoyed being in court and speaking his mind. He tries "speaking his mind" to Gail, telling her to lighten up. Eileen lectures Steve on how to deal with Tracy insisting that he mustn't let her wind him up. The police call on Steve and tell him that they're dropping the charges against him. Danny, Viv and Frankie reminisce about Danny's dad Harry. Delighted Steve tells Tracy the police have dropped the charges and she should worry that they might prosecute her for wasting police time.
