Jack knew that Terry was up to no good all along and now he's been proved right. Terry packs his bags and tells Vera he's taking little Tommy back to Sheffield for a visit. Jack wonders why Terry's taking all of his belongings with him rather than just an overnight bag but doesn't say anything to Vera. Of course, Terry doesn't go to Sheffield, he goes to Blackpool where he sells little Tommy back to the Ortons for the grand sum of £10,000. A one-off deal is negotiated which means that little Tommy will probably be big, old and grey Tommy by the time Jack and Vera see him again, if they ever do. Mrs Orton just happens to be passing by the Rovers and calls in to see Vera, to make sure she's not too upset about losing little Tommy once more, this time forever. Vera knows nothing about it, she's angry and distraught when she realises what Terry has done, the scumbag! She's furious with Terry and tells Betty to take down Terry's photograph from her mantelpiece and throw it in the bin. She's straight on the solicitor to get Terry taken out of her will and Jack now refuses to believe he ever really had a son. (Actually, this is quite a touching storyline and I have to admit I shed a tear for Vera when she was sobbing into her sherry!).

Steven finally approves the Kbec order at Mike's factory, which is just as well as Alma walks in with a bottle of celebratory champagne which she bought in anticipation of the order being accepted. Mike's problem now is that he has a load of sub-standard clothing he needs to shift so he flogs the lot from a market stall which Tricia helps him to run. He enjoys himself so much on the market stall that he helps Claire (Des' girlfriend) to sell her china plates from the stall next to his.

Josie has cycled off into the sunset. Mind you, I wouldn't put up with Don's miserable face either. Don receives a letter from Josie's solicitor asking for her share of the money which she invested in to the garage - £20,000. When Friday comes around and it's pay-day, Don tells Kevin he can't issue any cheques without Josie's signature, he's stalling as he hasn't got any money and Kevin's beginning to realise something is wrong. Don is telling everyone that Josie has had to go and visit her mother who's taken ill.

The old folks are up in arms at Mayfield Court. The new character, Lily Dempsy, and Percy look set to stage a protest to stop the renaming of Mayfield Court old folks home to "The Alfred Roberts Court". Roy takes Percy a history book of the area showing why Mayfield Court was so called, all adding fuel to Percy's fire to stop the renaming of the place. Reference was made to Phyllis Pearce being ill (which she is in real life - suffering from angina and out of the show for a while) and that's why it seems Lily Dempsy has been introduced into the show.

Raquel wants more out of life than to make Curly's tea and look beautiful. Now that she's been sacked from the Rovers, she places an advert in the local paper and opens her aromatherapy massage parlour in her living room, her first client being Judy Mallett. When Curly comes home to find a note on the living room door reading "Do not enter - client within" he's not best pleased and argues with Raquel, who defends her right to do something with her life other than wait on Curly hand and foot. When Raquel spots another aromatherapy course advertised in the newspaper she wants to apply for it and at first Curly isn't happy, but he then encourages her to go for it, even though it's hundreds of miles away.

The McDonald clan are looking as glum as ever when they go to visit Steve in prison. Liz wants to start dividing up hers and Jim's possessions for their divorce but Jim tells her he doesn't want anything - what use is a houseful of furniture to him?, he asks. More bad news for Jim comes when Liz gets a phone call from Belfast to say that Jim's mother has died. As if that wasn't bad enough for the bloke, she then tells Jim she won't be going to the funeral with him, as she's not part of the family any more. Andy offers to go to the funeral with Jim instead.

Alec and Rita have tea together and he tells Rita of his plans to start a new theatrical agency.
