The Rovers Ravers are trying to think how to get the dress back from Frankie without Vera finding out. Karen is back at work, seemingly unemotional, and the girls are concerned for her. They ask how her mother is and she tells them that she is dead. They are all shocked. Les and Cilla are packing their bags when Cilla sends Les upstairs, gives Chesney £10 and a note for Fiz, and tells him that he is to go to Fiz's flat after work instead of her picking him up. They leave to go on their holiday to Blackpool. Chesney goes across to Fiz's flat but Candice tells him that she has gone bowling straight after work and then going on to a club so won't be back until 4.00am. Chesney bumps into Sophie and they decide to go and get some food and go back to No.5. Sophie then goes home. Malcolm Phillips comes round to see Karen but she is not in so Steve takes the envelope from him.
