Billy Walker returns to the Street at his mother's request, to save the pub. He isn't pleased to be back. Brian finds Rita a Fiesta saloon for £2,750. Billy is furious about Fred serving rotten pies and that Ken has written a slamming report. Rita wants to put Mavis down on her insurance as a co-driver but Mavis doesn't like the idea of learning to drive. Percy complains to Billy about the terrible food served at the Rovers.
