She gets the Polish girls to agree to work through the night, even though they've been working all day. Paul points out that what she's asking them to do is illegal but Carla's not interested. Emma turns up at No.11 demanding her baby. Eileen and Emma fight over Holly as David watches, amused by it all. Eileen manages to get Holly inside the house and slams the door. Chesney and Sophie perform Bugsy Malone in front of Sally and Kevin. Rosie takes the mickey. Vernon gets hopelessly drunk and passes out in the Rovers. Liz phones wondering why he hasn't turned up at the restaurant and Steve tells her the truth. Eileen resolves to stay at home keeping guard over Holly in case Emma shows up again.
