Molly gets a telly from Kev as a thankyou for putting new business
his way in the shape of Mr Rush from Weatherfield Windows. It
looks like Kevin gets to service the company's fleet of vans on
a regular basis, but at what cost? Well, five hundred quid a month
is what Rush is asking and Kev's in tormet. He's always run his
business honestly, his way, but with Tyrone asking for overtime
to save up to get married, Kevin knows he has to think of his
staff as much as himself and agrees to bung Mr Rush the back-hander.
Jack's over the moon when he finds out what it is he's inherited,
but Vera is much less pleased. It's an allotment with its very
own shed, or as Jack confides to Tyrone "my place to escape".
Neither Vera nor Maria can see the attraction of the shed, which
suits Jack just fine. It's a magnificent one, full of smelly old
bits of stuff rusting in the corner. Sounds bliss to me, but then
I've always liked sheds ever since I was a little 'un and can't
wait to move into my very own shed later this year. All it'll
need is a quick sweep-out and some red checky curtains, and indeed,
perhaps a cushion or two. If all this sheddy business leaves you
confused / bemused / worried, or all of the above, you need to
take a visit to uk.rec.sheds where all your worst fears will be
confirmed.
Toyah gets an unwelcome visitor in the shape of Phil Simmonds'
brother. He calls into the caf, scares the life out of Toyah and
leaves a letter from Phil, who wants to see her. The letter says
Phil's sorry for what he's done and wants Toyah to meet him so
he can apologise and explain. Janice and Les are both against
her meeting him but Toyah is unsure what to do. She talks it over
with Charlie who tells her not to do anything she'd feel uncomfortable
with but after much thought and torment, she agrees to meet him
next week.
Glamorous granny Gail gets it together with her new man. Maxine
looks after Bethany while Gail cooks dinner for Richard at home.
It's all white wine and pink tablecloths, candles and small talk
over dinner then later it's coffee, chocolates, cuddles and kisses
as Gail pulls Dick upstairs. (Look, I'm sorry, I really am. But
this rude and uncalled for innuendo is irresistible and far too
easy. They should have called him Fred).
So Maxine and Ashley are back from their holidays and playing
host already to someone needing a place to stay. Too tall doctor
Matt has walked out on Charlie after they agreed to disagree about
having kids and he moves in with the Peacocks. What joy.
Cue to the countryside, where it's all been happening. Confidences
are shared when Martin and Sarah have a chat and he tells her
she must respect herself and take responsibility for her actions
in the future. It seems to have got through to her. Todd goes
to the disco on the camp sight but Sarah meets his disco dolly
later, who tells her "You can have your boyfriend back, it
was all 'Sarah this' and 'Sarah that'" Realising that Todd
has a thing for her (you know, a thing), Sarah puts a stop to
his flirting when he tries to kiss her later, bearing in mind
Martin's words.
The country air gets Sally and Martin going too. The pair of
them talk about their feelings, their ex-es, their mistakes and
their futures before they're snogging under the oak tree and around
the bush. But will it work back in Weatherfield? Sally thinks
not. She tells Martin their kiss was a one-off and then gives
him the brush-off.
Out on the lake, David and Wayne are fooling around in the
boat during Roy's (very) organised treasure hunt. It's all going
swimmingly, at least, it would have done, if Roy could swim. David
ends up in the water, arms flailing and although Roy jumps in
after him, he admits he can't swim. It's left to Wayne to save
the day, Roy is mighty proud and David is unperturbed: "I
could've walked out of there meself!".
While in the woods, Wayne's nabbed by Alex Swinton, he's followed
the Croppers to the countryside. Wayne screams and Roy and Hayley
go running although it's fair to say that Hayley sort of wobbled.
There's a bit of argy-bargy and Alex storms off as Martin comes
to see what's going on, but not before Alex rings the Social Services
to tell them the Croppers have kidnapped his son. There's nothing
else for Roy and Hayley to do but tell Wayne what's going on.
They'd already told Wayne the truth about Hayley, and surprisingly,
he took it very well, comparing her gender realignment to that
of earthworms and tropical fish. It prompts Roy to comment: "I'm
just glad he sees you as part of the wonder and diversement of
nature". Anyway, they give Wayne the option of going back
to Weatherfield and all the trouble that will bring, or leaving
with them both, now, for somewhere new. Wayne decides he wants
to stay with them and while the others are at the shop, the three
of them speed away in Martin's car. "I haven't driven in
years!" cries Hayley, as she leans over to Roy "And
I don't know what to do". Looking out of the window instead
of at your passenger would help, methinks. And so they go, our
three musketeers, off their heads and on the run.
And that's about that for this week.
