Phyllis goes in to clean Des' house, and finds Vicky and Steve
together in the kitchen, Vicky is in her dressing gown. Later,
in the Rovers, Phyllis is just about to tell Maude Grimes this
gossip, when Vicky overhears and bribes Phyllis not to tell anyone
by offering her a double whisky (twice!). Well, Vicky has accepted
Steve McDonald's proposal of marriage. (Is it love, or is it money?)
Steve shows her an engagement ring he has bought and Vicky persuades
him to give her the ring, Steve agrees as long as she promises
not to wear it or to tell anyone about the engagement yet. Raquel
organises a 21st birthday party in the Rovers for Andy and Steve,
and as everyone raises their glasses to the twins, Vicky announces
that she and Steve are engaged and shows off the ring. The look
on Bet's face is great, and poor Fiona walks out on her own. Bet
calls Alec, who comes back to the Street blaming Bet for not looking
after Vicky properly. He wonders why Bet hadn't seen the engagement
coming, but Bet puts her foot down with Alec. She tells him that
she is really pleased to see him, because now it makes her realise
that she is much better off on her own! Alec seems happy to be
back and to see Bet, but Bet is very cool towards Alec. They are
both worried about Vicky and Steve, Bet tells Alec that Steve
McDonald is after Vicky's money and that's the only reason why
they are engaged. Steve and Vicky decide they don't want a long
engagement and arrange the wedding at the registry office for
Wednesday this week. They tell Liz, who is shocked. Liz and Jim
then go to the Rovers to tell Bet and Alec about the wedding and
of course they are both really surprised too. However, there is
no sign of Vicky and Steve, they have gone to spend a couple of
nights in a hotel before the wedding. When Steve protests that
he doesn't have a change of clothes, Vicky tells him they will
buy some more.
Jack visits Cliff's house and finds Cliff's wife's brother there,
who is very angry and upset. Seems he never liked Cliff and blames
him for the death of his sister. The house is a rented house and
it turns out that the rent is in arrears. Jack and Vera go to
Cliff's funeral, and Jack comes back with Cliff's camel hair coat
and scarf (the one that Cliff always wore when he stayed with
them).
Deidre comes back from Morocco and stays with the McDonalds. She
talks to Emily about Samir's funeral, how she wasn't allowed to
attend (women can't) but felt very accepted and loved by his family.
Emily starts to cry as she hasn't said good-bye to Samir. Deidre
is now desperate to have her house sold, she tells Mike that if
Ken is interested in buying it then he is to sell it to him. So,
in the Rovers, Mike greets Ken at the bar and tells him that Deidre's
house is his if he wants to buy it. Ken is gobsmacked. Mike Baldwin
takes Deidre to an old Victorian style house he has bought which
has been converted into flats, and offers one of the flats to
Deidre on nominal rent if she will act as a caretaker for the
building. Mike is very understanding of Deidre's situation and
is very nice to her. Deidre doesn't know if she will stay around
Coronation Street and she still doesn't want to see Tracey. She's
now gone to her mothers and told Mike she will think about the
flat.
Brian, Alf and Audrey's ex-chauffeur arranges to see Audrey privately
and takes her out to lunch. He tells her he knows about the missing
money from the Mayor's fund, as he has overheard people talking
from the back of the limousine when he was chauffeuring. Turns
out that Harry Potts (the ex-Mayor) and a lady from the finance
department of the council have been conspiring to defraud the
mayor's fund for some time.
