Derek decides to take the 50 chocolate doubloons to the recreation
park, as per the instructions in the ransom note that came with
the gnome's ear. He dons a hooded jogging suit and is seen lurking
in the bushes in the park by someone, who calls the police. Needless
to say, he gets caught by the police and has some explaining to
do. When he's caught, Mavis suddenly arrives on the scene to help
Derek explain about the gnome and the chocolate etc. When Derek
and Mavis arrive home in the police car, a bemused crowd gathers
outside of the Rovers wondering why there is a police car outside
of the Wilton's house. Derek starts ranting wildly and shouts
at the onlookers `I know who it is! I know which one of you it
is, you can't fool me you know!'
Deidre is in her flat alone one night and hears someone trying
to break into the building. She calls the police and it turns
out that Jamie has been left with a friend of his while Tricia
went out with a boyfriend. Jamie had left his friend's house and
returned home and was trying to climb in through the window. Deidre
takes pity on Jamie and brings him into her flat for a cup of
cocoa. Deidre gives Tricia a good talking to about leaving Jamie
on his own and Tricia says to her `Don't tell me what to do with
my child when your daughter's a drug addict'. Ouch.
The Duckworths finally get their cheque for the insurance money
of 30,000 after a long wait and a comedic phone call by Vera to
the solicitor's office. They don their best clothes and go into
Jim's Cafe and then into the corner shop, hoping they can impress
people with their good news. However, no-one seems interested
in their news until they arrive finally in the Rovers, downcast
because no one seems interested in their windfall. In the Rovers,
Racquel throws her arms around Jack and congratulates them both,
and then the whole pub raise their glasses to the Duckworths and
it's celebrations all round. The scene with Jack and Vera deciding
what to do with the money is great.
Eventually they decide to spend the money on a local business
and Vera brings home details of local businesses for sale, fish
and chip shops, off-licences and.... a corner shop. THE corner
shop! So they go to see Reg and Maureen along with the estate
agent and Reg can't believe what he is hearing at first when he
realises the Duckworth's want to buy the shop but when he hears
they have cash ready to spend his eyes light up. Reg is also after
Mr. Firman's job, who has confided in Reg that he is about to
retire from Firman's Freezers.
Liz thinks she is pregnant!! She tells Deidre first and then she
tells Jim. Jim is very concerned for Liz (after she lost the last
baby) and doesn't know if he could go through the pain of watching
Liz lose another baby. Liz however, realises there is a chance
that she may be able to carry the baby to full term and tells
Jim this is what she wants to do. They both decide to wait until
the pregnancy is confirmed before they do anything else.
Bill Webster has started work on Sally and Kevin's kitchen. However,
although Bill submitted a quotation (along with other building
companies) to the insurance company, the insurance company has
not officially accepted any of the quotes yet. Kevin feels a bit
strange about letting his dad treat the children to pizzas and
fish and chips when he isn't able to do such things himself but
Sally isn't bothered by this at all. Bill is now looking for a
flat of his own as life with Kevin and Sally is a bit cramped
in their small house.
