Steve McDonald is terribly battered and bruised after his beating
by one of Frank Mottram's thugs. He tells both Fiona and Vicky
about his debts, it appears he owes about £6,000 to casino
owners and betting shops. Fiona is worried about Steve and wonders
if he can ever pull himself out of debt. Steve goes to Vicky and
asks her if he can borrow some money from her to pay off his debts
but she says 'no' once again. Then, she finally agrees to lend
him some money as long as he shows that he is working to clear
his debts too and suggests that he starts by selling his car,
so he puts his car up for sale and then Vicky gives him a wad
of cash.
Alma gets a cheque for £500 for the catering consultancy
job and she gives Audrey a gift token for her help in this just
as Audrey is moaning to Alf that Alma owes her something! It's
Mike and Alma's wedding anniversary and Mike brings a bouquet
of flowers into the cafe for Alma. However, Alma has forgotten
about the anniversary completely! so she has to pretend that she
has a special surprise for Mike that evening, and she books up
in a fancy restaurant for dinner for them both. When they are
in the restaurant, Steve McDonald and Fiona come in.
Fiona is amazed at Steve, the fact that he is completely broke
but is prepared to splash out on an expensive meal. When she finds
that he intends to pay with Vicky's money, she tells Steve exactly
what she thinks of him and walks out of the restaurant, goes back
to the flat and throws Steve's clothes out of the window onto
the pavement, and tells him to go to Vicky.
A local newspaper want a picture and story on Alf now that he
is to awarded the OBE. Audrey buys an expensive decanter to use
in the photograph, she has an idea that the photograph will be
taken with the Mayor and his wife at home, but it ends up being
taken in the Rovers. The newspaper eventually uses a photo of
Alf and Betty, much to Audrey's annoyance.
Alf is called in to see the Chief Executive of the Council and
he assumes that he has been called in so that he can be granted
the freedom of the borough after being Mayor for 2 years. However,
when he arrives at the Council he is accused of stealing over
£7,000 from the Mayor's charity fund, which Alf was responsible
for during his year of command. The money has gone missing, apparantly
cheques have been written to companies and organisations which
do not actually exist. Alf tells the Chief Executive that he only
signed the cheques, they were all written out before he signed
them, and he never checked where the money was going. It appears
that someone has taken advantage of Alf but the council chambers
are full of rumours now that Alf has stolen the money from the
fund. Alf is worried in case he loses his OBE because of this.
Determined not to lose his garden gnomes again, Derek uses cement
to keep his 2 gnomes in his garden. As he is doing this, Gail,
Martin and the kids are playing in their garden, so they see him
do it. Derek goes away and when he returns, gnome foot prints
are everywhere in the wet cement and Arthur has disappeared again.
At first Derek blames Gail and Martin, saying the footprints could
have been caused by doll's shoes, but then Derek blames Des again
in Rovers.
Mike Baldwin goes to see Trisha to tell her to tidy up the house
as he has prospective buyers coming to view the property. When
he arrives at the house, Trisha is still in her nightie and starts
chatting up Mike, he doesn't know quite how to take it. Jim McDonald
watches Mike go into Trisha's house and sees that Trisha isn't
dressed and assumes that Mike fancies Trisha.
After passing his exams, Martin now has a temporary job at Weatherfield
General, on a 6 month contract in the casualty department.
