After receiving his electric shock from Percy's electric heater, Gary Mallett is fine, with no injuries. However, both Judy and Gary start to blame the Duckworths for the faulty wiring in their house, and Judy tells Vera and Jack that they will have to pay to have the house rewired. Of course, Vera will have none of this and while Vera and Judy argue, Gary invites Jack to his house to watch football and have a few beers. Jack goes to the Mallets house on his night off, to find both Gary and Judy there, they both make him feel at home and serve him pints laced with vodka in an attempt to get him drunk and agree to paying for the rewiring of their house! Vera finds out where Jack has gone, marches round to the Mallets house, gives everyone a ticking off and bars the Mallets from the Rovers.

Jim and Bill start work on converting one of Baldwin's flats into two studio apartments. When they come to ripping out the walls, they find a Victorian fireplace which had been boarded up. Both realising the cash they can gain by selling this fireplace, they take it out of the flat and are putting it into the back of their van when Ray Cropper and Jamie come along and catch them taking the fireplace out of the building. Ray Cropper tells them it's not right, that they are stealing Baldwin's property and Jamie tells them he hasn't seen anything, as long as they give him a fiver.

Denise and her brother in law are in a spot of bother. Denise goes shopping with her sister who confides in her that she thinks her husband is having an affair, but when she talks to him about it, he tells her nothing is happening. Denise is feeling very guilty about the whole thing now, and wants to end the affair, especially when her brother in law (sorry, I can't remember his name) makes an unannounced visit to Daniel's christening party. He then calls round to see Denise the next day and she tells him she wants to end the affair, that Ken and baby Daniel are the most important people to her. Obviously still feeling very guilty, later that evening she asks Ken if he still wants to marry her..... and Ken says YES!

Vicky's uncle, who is a lawyer is working on Steve's case, and will do his best to keep him out of prison when his court case comes up. Steve goes to see the bloke he bought the stolen whisky from, and it transpires that the supplier originally turned down Steve's offer to go into partnership with him to sell the whisky, so it looks like Steve could have been in much more trouble than he already is. Vicky wants to know the truth, and of course Steve won't tell her that he knew the whisky was stolen, but in the end she works it out for herself, and storms out of the Rovers, leaving Steve sitting on his own.

Racquel and Curly don't seem to have much time for each other these days, so Racquel tells Vera and Jack that she only wants to work lunchtimes, so she can spend her evenings with Curly. Curly appoints his assistant Anne, to be his assistant manager. Liz McDonald had also applied for the post, and thought that her friendship with Curly stood her in good stead for the job, and is disappointed when she finds out she hasn't got the job.

Don looks like he is heading for another breakdown. He goes to see his solicitor who will prepare him for the court case, when he takes Nick and Gail to court over possession of Ivy's house. At first he is elated that the solicitor is on his side, encouraging him and telling him he has every chance of keeping the house. Then, he begins to wonder what sort of things Gail's solicitor will have been saying to her, and what things Gail will say in court to disparage Don, in particular he's thinking of the nuisance phone calls he made to Denise. He gets drunk in the Rovers and goes round to see Gail and Martin, bangs on their door and then starts shouting at them both "I know you've got it in for me, I know you'll tell them about the phone calls....."

And the best news of all this week is that Rita and Sally have finally made up, thanks to Mavis, who for once, got things right by sticking her nose into other people's business and made both Rita and Sally realise they missed each others company.
