Nicola goes into labour

Brenda's preoccupied with her financial worries and still hasn't had the courage to tell Terry what's going on. At the café, relations between Viv and Brenda are more fraught than ever, but Bob asserts that they can't afford to buy Brenda out, so they're stuck together whether they like it or not.

Enraged, Viv eavesdrops as Bob asks Brenda how it went with Terry. Brenda breaks down, confessing that she doesn't have the heart to burst his bubble and reveal that she's bankrupt for fear that he'll end things with her.

Viv wastes no time in informing a stunned Terry that his girlfriend has been lying to him and that she's actually bankrupt. Brenda's shocked when she returns home to find Viv there and is mortified when Terry reveals that he knows everything. Will he forgive her? Or will Brenda lose her partner and her business?

Nicola's indignant when she discovers that Jimmy has told the Wyldes that she's started her maternity leave. In protest, she heads off for work anyway. Fed up of everyone fussing around her, Nicola orders Jimmy to go home and once Doug and Leyla leave, Rodney arrives to check up on her.

Frustrated, Nicola locks herself in the shop to keep Rodney out and as she puts her keys down, they slide off the counter and under the unit…

Elsewhere, Val's preening herself at the B&B in a bid to win back Pollard. Diane, meanwhile, is unconvinced about her sister's new manifesto to right every wrong she's ever made.

When Pollard arrives in the pub prepared to face Val, she assures him that she's a changed woman. Both Diane and Pollard remain cynical, but there's a glimmer that Pollard might be softening towards her.
