Plot[]
Audrey is back from hospital and recuperating on the sofa at No.8 after having been diagnosed with angina. She enjoys the rest and watching old Joan Crawford films on television. Deeply embarrassed, Mary apologises to Aadi and Asha for her unacceptable behaviour and hands in her resignation to Dev. A nervous Tyrone and Fiz prepare for their visit to the hospital for Hope's results. Gail thanks Ken for coming to her mother's aid. Mary tells Rita and Norris about her resignation, though not the reason why. A tactless Sally asks Anna for a testimonial for her councillor candidacy. A deeply upset Mary also refuses to give her support. She can't get Brendan to return her calls. Aidan continues to give Johnny the cold shoulder. Rita confesses to a shocked Norris that she went to see Jenny. While he rants at her, Sophie enters The Kabin and overhears. She walks out, upset. Rita comes to a decision and sets out on a mission. Dev tells Erica and Liz how upset his children are at Mary's departure. He asks them to speak to her on his behalf. Rita calls at Jenny's bedsit and, finding her visibly scared and clearly in a bad way, insists she's coming to live with her. Luke turns up to visit Audrey with chocolates. As Jenny gathers her things, she expresses her fears about facing Kevin and Sophie again. Rita assures her they'll cross that bridge together. Ken calls on Audrey with flowers but she refuses to discuss what she said to him last night. At Erica and Liz's insistence, Mary joins them for a glass of wine in the Rovers and they ask her to reconsider her decision. While she's in with them, Brendan returns her calls. A delighted Tyrone and Fiz are told that Hope is in remission. Richie O'Driscoll calls in the factory and invites Johnny and Aidan to a drinks party at his house on Monday. A woman approaches Mary in the pub and introduces herself as Bridget, Brendan's wife. As Rita and Jenny arrive back on the street in a taxi, they come face to face with Kevin, Sophie and Jack.
