Plot[]
Sally storms round to No.4 and tells Claire what she thinks of her for calling her house a slum. Sally tells them the deal's off. Ashley's furious with Claire. Molly tells Tyrone it's their duty to tell Jack about Paul's plans to do a runner. Liz hangs one of her wedding photographs in the Rovers' living room. Steve and Michelle notice she's had it touched up - rendering Vernon almost unrecognisable. Harry's annoyed to discover that Clarissa is treating Lloyd like a personal chauffeur and running up a huge bill. Jack tells Paul he knows about his plans to abscond. He tries to talk him out of it. Leanne's enjoying her new sales job at Victoria Court. She shows Dan round the show flat and suggests they take a look at the master bedroom. Jack gives Paul an envelope containing £10,000 telling him that he can either do a runner and take the £10,000 or he can serve his sentence and then Jack will give him £30,000. Jack goes to the Rovers leaving Paul to think about it. Ashley and Kevin force Sally and Claire to have a drink together. They all agree they still want to swap houses but Claire insists they should do it through a proper agent. Roger gives Ken the quote for the new bathroom. Blanche thinks it's outrageous. Paul leaves the £10,000 on the table but unable to face his prison sentence he asks Lloyd to drive him to the airport.
