Vera is determined to make contact with Ivy so when Maude Grimes
offers to conduct a seance in Don and Josie's house, Vera jumps
at the chance. However, Josie isn't so keen when she finds out
their plans but she finally gives in as she feels sorry for Vera
who believes that Ivy's spirit is in torment. Don comes home from
work to find Vera and Maude trying to raise the spirit of Ivy
and throws them both out onto the street. In an effort to keep
Vera quiet once and for all, Don calls in an old friend who poses
as a priest and `exorcises' the house. With his candle, crucifix
and chants of "nintendo, omnibus, trolleybus" you know
he's not for real! But Vera's happy now that she thinks Ivy's
spirit is put to rest. The priest and Don have a drink in the
Rovers afterwards and when they leave, he forgets to take his
bag with him which he's used for the exorcism. Jack decides to
open it up and breaks a crucifix so Vera takes this as a sign
that Ivy has been let loose and is floating around the Rovers.
(Well at least it'll keep the beer chilled).
Kelly, Ken's childminder, seems to be doing okay despite Emily
and Percy's well meaning but irritating interference.
Audrey's son Steven gives a presentation at the town hall to promote
his line of sportswear in England. All goes well and Gail is on
hand to help Alma with the buffet luncheon while Martin looks
after the Cafe. Kerry, Steven's business colleague, visits Steve
and Vicky in the print shop to have a look around their business
after they put in a bid for the contract, but she isn't impressed
by what she sees and tells Steven this. She also found out that
the last contract Steve McDonald worked on was given to him because
of Mike Baldwin and she tells Steven this news. Later, in the
Rovers, Steven announces his decision to award Mike Baldwin the
contract to manufacture his clothing in England and announces
to everyone that he thinks Alma is marvellous for all the help
she has given him. The next day, Alma and Mike meet with Steven
in his hotel. They arrive late and Steven gives Alma his room
key so she can get changed in there. After the meeting, everyone
is having a drink in the hotel reception, everyone except Alma
and Steven.... Alma is in Steven's room when he comes in, he tells
her how much he appreciates her help. Alma tells him that she
hasn't met anyone quite like Steven before and he returns the
compliment. Then, Alma starts snogging Steven! He's confused,
it looks like this isn't what he wants and Alma realises she's
made a fool of herself and runs out of the hotel room, straight
into Audrey who has come to collect the two of them as the taxi
is waiting to take them all home. "What's going on?"
asks Audrey. Steven shouts at Audrey to go downstairs, Alma runs
into the elevator but by the time Audrey gets there, Alma is already
on her way downstairs. Will Audrey find out that her best friend
snogged her son?
Fiona pays Denise a visit to let her know how hurt she is that
Denise has sold the salon to John (thereby making her unemployed)
just after she had made Fiona Manager of the place and left her
in sole control. Denise tells Fiona that the sale of the salon
isn't final yet and urges Fiona to find the 4,500 pounds to buy
it herself. Fiona is stunned, she doesn't know what to do but
after a stiff drink in the Rovers she decides to go for it. She
tries the bank but they're not interested and then she really
upsets Rita by asking her for the money. Rita refuses, saying
"Does everyone round here think I'm just an old biddy with
more money than sense?" Finally, Fiona's brother, Ashleigh,
makes an appearance on the Street. He takes a look around the
salon, looks at the books, and tells Fiona he'd be happy to lend
her the money. Ashleigh seems to be `something in computers' and
tells Fiona she is lucky to live in a place with such a community
spirit when he spends his time in the city "helping out some
Internet anorak who's pressed the wrong key" (does he mean
us?!)
More marital disharmony between Jim and Liz. Andy is in arrears
to the tune of 50 pounds which he owes to Des for rent. Liz gives
Andy the money, telling him that she'd much prefer him to be in
debt to her than to Des. When Jim finds out she's done this, he
is really mad with her, and thinks she has done it to be nice
to Des, rather than to help Andy out. Liz confides in Deidre that
things are going badly wrong between her and Jim.
