At the Clarkes:
Andrea reassures Bradley that he doesn't have to worry about Des and Daphne getting married, it'll all work out fine. He isn't buying. Des comes out looking for his aftershave - it seems Bradley knocked it off the shelf and broke it. Des asks why he didn't tell him and he answers why should he? No-one cares about him. Andrea tells Des that Bradley's just a bit worried, especially about where they'll live now. Des has been thinking about that - they can move into Eileen's unit! Bradley comments that he's throwing them out and Andrea isn't keen either.

On a street:
Nikki and Mike go to badger Mrs York for money again. She runs away from them.

At the Clarkes:
Andrea sends Bradley off to school assuring him that everything will be fine. Des offers to drive him but he thinks he's going to have to get used to walking. They have a little chat and Bradley reveals he's worrying that Des won't want him when he and Daphne have kids. Des hugs him and says he'll always want him, now how about that lift?

At the hospital:
Madge has been visiting Zoe and bumps into Jean. They chat briefly then Jean rushes off. A nurse casually comments to Madge that Jean's been visiting there for 12 years and Madge wants to know who she visits, her mother? The nurse smiles "No" and wanders off, leaving Madge to ponder.

At the pub:
Andrea is distracted and not concentrating on her job. Jack asks her to share her worries and she tells him about Des and Daphne. He guesses that she's worrying about where to live and offers her a room at the hotel. She says that's not all, Bradley needs a man in his life. Jack laughs that she needs a rich old bloke who won't take any nonsense from Bradley.

At the coffee shop:
Danny is still grouchy that Tom didn't give him anything for doing all the work on his accounts. Tom doesn't appear to notice and tells him how impressed Jean was with them. Jean comes in and Tom rushes Danny off to work, not wanting her to hear that Danny did all the work on the accounts. He asks Jean if he can join her but she doesn't really want company. He asks her what's wrong and she tearfully tells him she needs to be alone. He insists on taking her to the Waterhole for something stronger than a cup of tea.

At the office:
A temporary secretary has taken over Zoe's job, Margaret. Paul heads off to a big business meeting commenting that Rosemary will give him a big pat on the back if he can pull this one off.

At the Waterhole:
Tom and Jean talk about crying! Tom tells her he's shed a few tears in his time, when his wife died and when he was in Naam. He starts to tell her some of his nightmares but then stops and tell her the best thing to do when you're down is get out and kick up your heels. He asks her out to cheer her up and she agrees.

At the office:
Clive comes looking for Paul but has to make do with Debra. She is offish with him but he persists, telling her he's a business man himself and asking if he can leave some of his cards behind? She says she'll pass them on to Paul. He starts to leave, commenting as he goes "By the way, I'm also in ladies underwear." She answers "Nothing would surprise me!". Paul returns in a pig of a mood and Clive hastily leaves. Looks like the deal fell through - a new company beat him to it, and they look like they knew all his figures.

At the coffee shop:
Clive gives Des his bill for helping him woo Daphne. 300 bucks! Des is horrified. He shows Daphne but they are interrupted by Mrs York fainting at the counter. Des grabs her and sits her down. She comes round and says she'd just come in for the stale food for the animals... Des offers to drive her home as he's going past anyway.

At the office:
Paul is stomping round the office, still annoyed at losing his deal. He tries to file the paperwork away but the temp has taken the key to the cabinet to lunch with her. Debra tells him to go to lunch himself but he doesn't want to leave the office unattended - no problem, she'll look after it. As he is leaving Margaret the temp arrives back, and Paul asks her for the key back. She hands it over and he leaves. She smiles and hands a copy of the key to Debra, who says "Thanks Madeline, daddy will have a nice bonus waiting for you when you get back to the office." Oh oh.

At the pub:
Andrea is looking at bridal magazines and Jack says she'd look great in one of them. She asks what she would do in a wedding dress and he says "Get married. To me?" She is straight with him and says she doesn't love him. He says he'd settle for having her like him. And he could get used to Bradley... She laughs and agrees to marry him.

At the coffee shop:
Clive is singing Debra's praises to Daphne. Mike and Nikki come in and Daphne gives them a bag of stale food to drop off at Mrs York's. Clive continues talking about his business plans and how he wanted to use a picture of Des and Daphne on his flyers to show how successful he can be. Shane overhears him talking about the engagement and looks unhappy, but then shakes Daphne's hand and wishes her all the best.

At Mrs York's:
Nikki hands over the stale food then Mike jumps straight in with his request for money for their collection. As she goes off to get some dosh he and Nikki speculate about how they're going to get megabucks from her. She comes back and hands over some pennies then closes the door. Nikki and Mike leave and we see Mrs York inside feeding her dog stale crusts, then eating the leftovers herself.
