Plot[]

Part One: Gordon is summoned to a meeting with his boss. Audrey admits to Maggie that Dickie is jealous that he isn't getting on in life in the same way. Maggie is cool to Lucille when she shows off her engagement ring. Stan worries that reporter Gary Croft will find out he's been making the predictions come true and accuse Hilda of fraud. Unable to tell Hilda the truth, he can't think of a good reason for her to turn the reporter away. Ena thinks Minnie is a danger to herself and asks Elsie to get Dave to stop taking bets from her. She suggests that Elsie offered to pay Minnie's debt to ease her conscience. Ray, Lucille, Len, Elsie and Jack contrive to get Emily back in the Rovers. They plan to buy presents for her and Annie, each from the other with notes of apology attached. Dave refuses to allow Minnie to place any more bets on credit, but cash only. He then agrees to wipe the slate clean but only as a favour to Elsie. Stan is on pins, worrying how he's going to confess to Hilda.


Part Two: Gordon is given a rise and asked to socialise with his colleagues more. Maggie thinks he's ashamed to bring them to the corner shop, despite him buying her a present of a brooch. Hilda prepares for the reporter, using a goldfish bowl as a crystal ball. Stan has no choice but to come clean and tells her she's not psychic and he's been making her predictions come true. She's touched when he says he did it all to get her to Australia. The conspirators try to obtain specimens of Annie and Emily's signatures for the apology notes. Len and Jack do their best to keep Emily and Annie away from the yard while the gifts and notes are prepared. Ena gets Minnie to admit that she has no money. Gary arrives at No.13 with his photographer. Hilda hides the tea so that the reporter can't test her but he brings his own and asks for four readings. She tells him her gift has gone and he leaves disappointed. Ena rows with Dave and accuses him of making children starve. Furious, he demands the £10 from her by Monday.
