Summary[]
Whilst Grant dreams of starting a family, Sharon informs him that she intends to make a go of the Vic first, and then plans a night out with Michelle, as they have been neglecting their friendship lately. Willmott-Brown has left the Square, and Michelle sees his flat is now empty. Hattie invites herself over to Ricky and Sam's squat for a meal.

A 'For Sale' sign is put up outside of Number 43 and Willmott-Brown is nowhere to be found. Kathy takes some time away from the Square to comprehend recent events. Mark has spent the night with Gill again. Sam panics when Ricky tells her he has invited Hattie round to see their squat. She tells him she does not want visitors until their squat is more homely. Arthur notices the Square gardens have been vandalised. He refuses to let Mark help him tidy up. Pauline asks him to help assemble their new kitchen at Number 45 instead. Sam offers to help Pauline out at the café in her spare time for extra money. Mark leaves Number 45 when Arthur returns and makes him feel unwelcome. Tensions continue to linger between Clyde and Michelle as they work together again at the Vic. Michelle is miffed when Clyde makes arrangements to attend his cousin's engagement party unbeknownst to her. Michelle believes Clyde is not treating their relationship seriously and is embarrassed being seen together with her; Clyde reveals he is more cautious about their mixed relationship in the Square and wants to take things step by step. Grant raises the potential of a baby with Sharon again, but she is not interested in having a child yet. Arthur sits on his own reflecting on his earlier run-in with Mark. Sharon purchases a new darts board for the Vic. Michelle questions Clyde about the state of their relationship and if there is a future for them. Michelle asks Clyde if he would ever risk everything and run away with her, like she did for him. He does not reply. Sharon and Michelle have a heart-to-heart chat about their relationship woes. Grant is unimpressed when Sharon plans a night out with Michelle and then puts him in charge of the Vic for the evening. Sam asks Sharon if she has any cleaning jobs going at the Vic. Grant and Phil make it clear they do not want her working whilst she is still in school. Grant has an eventful evening running the Vic with Clyde. Phil continues to wind up Grant about Sharon and Michelle's night out. Arthur and Pauline cannot sleep. Pauline is worried their family is falling apart and needs Arthur to be strong for them. Hattie visits Ricky and Sam at the squat, but an awkward atmosphere layers the room as Ricky is unhappy to learn Sam is trying to get a job to bring in extra money. Michelle and Sharon return from their night out. Grant makes it clear that Sharon going out and having a good time whilst he works is not his idea of a good marriage. Michelle returns home from the night out and is surprised to find Clyde outside waiting for her. He tells her he would run away with her too if she was in the same situation he was in back in November. Michelle smiles happily. |
