Trama
Chesney settles in at No.5. Nick calls in at the salon with Maria's birthday present. She attempts to hide her disappointment at the cheap necklace. They begin to worry that not enough invitations to the party have gone out. Vera and Jack argue about having cauliflower cheese for dinner and Jack makes a quick getaway to the Rovers for a hotpot. Mike gives the factory girls their jobs back and asks them to come in and quickly finish off an order for time and a half. He brings forward the ready date for the factory yet again for Charlie, who promises it will be complete. Maria is not impressed with her party as not many people turn up and those that do include Jack, Audrey and Martin. Karl gets drunk and spends the evening teasing Todd.
