Plot[]
Tommy pleads with Tina to give their relationship another chance. Dev is left fuming when Sophie phones in sick and Sunita is nowhere to be found. An oblivious Rita shows off her new wedding outfit, but a furious Tina makes it clear that a wedding isn't in her immediate future. Tommy apologises and knowing he loves her and having had enough of Rick Neelan, Tina makes it clear to Tommy that they have to stand up to him and forces Tommy to arrange a meeting with Rick. Kirsty rallies the factory girls to stand up to Carla. Sunita leaves Karl some food for thought when she talks to him at the casino about his gambling. Tommy and Tina are panicked when Rick and his heavies arrive with Rita still in the flat. Carla is left reeling when her disgruntled workforce, led by Kirsty, stage a walk out. With Rita out of harms way, Tina leaves Rick perplexed and furious when she demands that he leaves Tommy alone because the debt is Terry's. Sunita arrives at the corner shop to a frazzled Dev, and feeling guilty about abandoning him all day, she promises to make it up to him with a home-cooked meal. Peter arrives at the factory and is surprised to see the factory floor empty, and with the help of Michelle he manages to convince Carla to accept the workers terms. In the garage, Tina can only look on helplessly as Tommy is beaten by Rick's heavies. Leanne heads over to the bistro to share some of the street party bunting out with Nick and apologise for snapping at him. Eileen is delighted when Carla gives her the job back at the factory. The other girls celebrate and congratulate Kirsty. Sunita is surprised when Karl arrives and hands his £7,000 winnings to her, knowing that he cannot resist gambling the money. Tina and a battered Tommy cling to each other as the realisation of how deep they are in with Rick sinks in.
