Private Notes
Ron wants to open up for business as usual despite the quarantine, but there is no electricity. The residents are required to give urine samples for analysis - but not everyone is keen, and Jimmy takes drastic measures.
Ron plans to charge the residents inflated prices for provisions from the Moby, but Carl takes orders from the others and brings in all the food from outside the cordon. The test results are in - Jimmy has distemper, and Ron is pregnant. Emma throws a party to cheer everyone up, but most of the guests are too depressed. Jean refuses to go to hospital.
Max insists on being with Thomas, and no-one can stop him. Jimmy arranges for Carl to make a "delivery" for him. Rachel decides to leave school when she is 16. Bev is sure she is pregnant, while Mandy finds it difficult to tell Sinbad that she is. Jean looks unlikely to survive another night.
Mandy realises from the amount of post for Rachel that it's her 16th birthday. Ron reads a newspaper article linking the epidemic with his shop. Max finally hears from Barry. Patricia realises she is unprepared for her mother's death, and David feels that he must confess to his affair with Audrey before it is too late.......
Bev doesn't like the result from the pregnancy test Carl bought for her, so she asks him to get her a few more. Jimmy is surprised to discover Barry's plans from Max, and Emma realises she picked the wrong man. Sinbad asks Mandy to marry him, but David realises that things will never be the same again.
Patricia takes over the running of the florists'. Max discovers that Emma has resigned, and that Barry is one of the heroes of recent weeks, according to the press. There is another residents meeting, and Ron has an idea about how to establish who else is pregnant.
Eddie wants to tell Rosie that she is pregnant, until he discovers how she would feel about it. David's plans to move to Hove are thwarted, but Ron offers him a spare room. Lee gets a Mohican haircut, Patricia has some ideas, and Rachel has a belated 16th birthday party - but it all ends in tears.
Rachel agrees to stay at Jean's until she can find a flat. Bev is irritated that David has to stay at Casa Bevron because Patricia has confiscated his car keys. Eventually, Jean decides to grab the bull by the horns - or somewhere more painful.
Told of Rosie's pregnancy, Carl is amused and Lee is ashamed, while Eddie is concerned that she shouldn't take risks with her health. Ron and Bev have plans for the florists' - but so do Max and Patricia, who fabricate evidence that Barry has given them the go-ahead. Sinbad has a plan to encourage Rachel to come home.
It is the day of the funerals of Audrey and Garry, but David is more concerned about finding somewhere else to live. Ron is wondering what Patricia is going to sell in her new shop - but she is giving nothing away. Sinbad is busy decorating the Jordaches', but Mandy wonders if it is really worthwhile.
Eddie plans a rota for the housework so that Rosie can relax more, then finds out that she plans to carry on working. David tries to buy a "hip" poster for Rachel. The opening of the "Gift Box" goes well, although Ron isn't impressed, and Mandy has other things on her mind.
After a near-miss, Eddie decides to sell his motorbike. Carl opens one of Jimmy's packages and finds out that he has been delivering drugs. Ron encourages Bev to snoop around at the Farnhams' while she is cleaning - but they are already aware of the risk. Rachel refuses to see Mandy, but David agrees to try to talk her round.
David considers buying Eddie's motorbike. Jacqui starts up aerobics classes at La Luz, with Katie as instructor, and attracts a good response, but Jimmy is not amused. The Farnhams' new shop is attracting far fewer customers than it did initially.
Eddie regrets selling his motorbike, and David is scared of riding it. So Jean and Rosie ensure that the status quo is restored. Ron clears out his loft, and Jacqui is only too willing to take a few things off his hands. Rachel considers becoming a mechanic, and decides to go back to school. Beth refuses to accept the solicitor's advice.
Leo is still having difficulty coming to terms with Garry's death. David gives Jacqui and Katie a lift to the car boot sale, and finds himself doing more to help than he anticipated. Bev is suspicious of Jimmy's money-making activities, and Beth is concerned about what Rachel will say in court.
Jimmy has to explain away his stash of cash when Jackie finds it. David enlists support for a street party in celebration of V.E. Day, but not everybody is interested. Jacqui wants to ensure that Mike won't lie in court, but Beth won't let him do it anyway.
Mandy is sick of being talked about. David fails to convince Max to join the V.E. Day celebrations, but finds Jimmy is willing to help out. Ron sets out to prevent a car boot sale from being held on the parade, unaware that Jacqui is organising it.
It looks as if Rosie and Jackie are going to be joined by too many third "Andrews Sisters" for the V.E. Day celebration. Jacqui's car boot sale is a success. David rejects Carl's beer when he discovers it is German, but Jimmy is more than willing to drink it.
Mick helps Sinbad to choose an engagement ring for Mandy, but will she agree to marry him? Ron's offer to charge 1945 prices to customers producing their original ration books seriously backfires on him. David wonders whether he should tell Patricia the truth about her grandfather being a miner instead of a major - but a guest at the celebration has all the answers.
A visitor to the Crosbies' is warmly welcomed by Rachel, but given a much more cautious reception by Mandy, then is thrown out by Sinbad. After being seen running a car boot sale, Jacqui is sacked from her job at the leisure centre. Jimmy makes Sinbad an offer, but it may be his own interests that he is thinking about.
The identity of the hate-mail writer is revealed, and Beth seeks retribution. The trial begins, and Sinbad is shocked by the anount of media attention, while Ron and Bev are cautioned for taking photographs inside the court building.
The prosecution's case against Mandy and Beth is presented, with a doctor, a forensic scientist, the Cobans, Brenna and Rachel giving their evidence.
The case for Mandy and Beth's defence is presented, as Mandy takes the stand and Brenna, Rachel, David and Mick watch from the public gallery.
Sinbad and Beth give their evidence, as the Jordache trial continues. Meanwhile, Julia makes a nuisance of herself in the public gallery.
The prosecution, defence, and judge sum up the case of the Crown versus Jordache and Jordache. David comforts Mandy and Beth, but Rachel refuses even to see them.
Mandy writes a letter to Rachel to explain her actions, but Rachel has already decided where she wants to go to live. After their deliberations, the jury arrive at a verdict.
David calls a residents meeting to discuss the outcome of the Jordache trial, but not everyone can be persuaded to attend. Jacqui takes her driving test, leaving Katie to look after another car boot sale in her absence. Then the police arrive.......
Leo is brought home from school after being ridiculed by other pupils, but help may be at hand. Katie and Jacqui both try desperately to find out from Mike if his boss has plans to visit La Luz again - not that either of them fancy him, of course.......
Carl tries to encourage Max to adopt his system for improving profits. Katie tells Jacqui she has had a date with Shaun. Mandy is concerned about how Beth is coping, and Sinbad is worried about them both. Max questions Patricia's involvement with the Jordache campaign.
Max forces Carl to take action about the illegal beer. David tries to learn about information technology so that he can help Rachel to revise. Sinbad and Patricia are both concerned about the Crosbies' plans, and Rosie is one player short for her darts team.......but there is a willing substitute close at hand.
Carl's beer supplier informs him that, no matter what he says, deliveries ARE going to continue. Eddie and Rosie celebrate a birthday at Max's restaurant and at home. A poster in Mike's window annoys Ron. Jacqui is jealous of Katie. Jenny makes her intentions obvious.
Max is left holding the beer, and insists that Carl gets rid of it. Jean visits Mandy and Beth, but who will become the most upset? Mick is receiving silent phonecalls, while Rosie is match-making.
Patricia and Jean seek support for their candlelit vigil, but Ron is only willing to sell them the candles. Max and Carl encounter unexpected problems in the form of Les when they try to return the beer. Jenny offers to give Leo extra tuition, and won't take no for an answer.
Mo gets caught in the middle of the Donnellys' revenge on Carl, and is locked in the cellar. Sinbad and Jean go fly-posting, and get a severe telling-off from the police. Katie realises that Jacqui is still keen on Shaun too.
Carl seeks Jimmy's advice on the Donnelly situation, and his solution is to introduce them to "Barry Grant"....... Jackie is keen to take part in a television debate about violence, although Patricia has other ideas. Mick is avoiding Jenny, but she is spreading news that they may soon be getting married.
The Donnellys take their revenge on "Barry". Patricia and Jean are due to speak out on "Loud And Clear", but there is still time for a last-minute substitution. As the programme is being shown on a satellite channel, interested parties need to appeal to either Bev or Rosie to be able to watch it.......
Despite Max's objections, Patricia refuses to give up her campaigning. Jimmy and Carl run into even more problems as they try to retrieve the stolen furniture and the dog-napped Cracker. Jenny enlists Rosie's help to prepare a celebration of her engagement to Mick, even though he has never had the slightest intention of proposing to her.
