Synopsis
Mary tells Pauline that Ethel has gone missing with baby Annie. Lofty asks Sue to get Ali to keep an eye out for them while he's out driving his cab. Pauline phones Mary's social worker for her from the launderette. Den tells Angie and Sharon about an opportunity to buy into a timeshare on a villa in Spain. In the launderette, Lou tells Pauline she wouldn't put baby-snatching past Ethel, since she always wanted children but couldn't have them. Dr Legg co-ordinates the search for Ethel with the help of Lofty, Ian, Kelvin and Michelle. Kathy looks after Mary at her flat. Ian and Dr Legg find Ethel in the Square with Annie - Mary takes her back and screams at Ethel. At the café, Sharon gets jealous because Kelvin is going around to Michelle's for tea - Kelvin doesn't seem bothered about either of them. Debbie and Andy visit Dr Legg - Debbie feels guilty for telling Ethel to take an interest in Mary after Nick attacked her. Sharon begs Den and Angie for the money to buy a cassette to impress Kelvin, but they make her work in the bar to earn the money. Michelle cooks cauliflower cheese for Kelvin, but when she goes to kiss him, Lou walks in and surprises them. Kathy and Pete are still bickering over Ian's desire to become a chef. Den tells Angie they can only afford for him to go and check out the villa in Spain (really he's planning a holiday with Jan). The next morning, Saeed has a hangover from his bender the day before. Pete and Kathy send Ian to open the stall; they start getting affectionate on the sofa when Ian returns because he's forgotten the key for the padlock. Angie won't let Sharon invite Kelvin upstairs to listen to tapes. Dr Legg checks over Annie and tells Mary she should accept Ethel's offer of the pram she bought. Later Ethel takes the pram round, as well as an Easter egg, and Mary forgives her. Sharon and Kelvin listen to music in the launderette, dancing around. Sharon ends up on top of Kelvin on the floor, just as Michelle walks in.
