We’re back. Toyah has rescued Imran after his beating at the hands of Tim and is tending his wounds and insisting that she definitely doesn’t fancy him whilst looking at him like he’s an all-you-can-eat tofu buffet. I’m not totally convinced of the chemistry between these two, but he’s at least a better match than Peter.
Over at the factory Peter is feeling like Carla’s
lackey so hatches a plan to buy an abandoned snooker hall which has miraculously
appeared overnight on Victoria Street. You do have to wonder where he is
getting his pots of money from? Has he done some sort of deal involving a cow
and some magic beans?
Claudia is still over at the Barlow residence. She
offers to read Ken’s short story which Daniel has already dismissed as being
too wordy. When she proffers a perfectly good suggestion about it having a
female protagonist Ken gets a bee in his bouffant about dumbing down and
practically calls her stupid. The cheek of it! Next time Claudia forget about
the facial and give him a back, sack and crack wax.
Back at the McDonald’s Liz is fussing over Hannah
like a spandex clad Florence Nightingale. She suggests Hannah move in so that
she can look after her. Jim’s not impressed with the idea. ‘You’re supposed to
be taking things slowly’ he growls. Hannah retaliates by accusing him of still
having feelings for Liz, the woman who abandoned him in his hour of need. He
denies it, insisting he wants them to have a future together. Later out of
Hannah’s earshot Liz apologises for not being there for him and tells him he
is welcome whenever he likes. Will Jim have second thoughts about conning
Elizabeth?
