When Liam tries to part-pay Shirley for an ice cream with a David Beckham picture, Shirley hands over half an ice cream. It's not long before Bianca storms across the Square and confronts Shirley. While Bianca distracts Shirley's attention, Liam lets down the van's tyres.
Frustrated, Shirley bins her uniform and puts a sign up in the ice cream van, which reads 'Gone Drinking'. When Heather sees the notice, she returns home and starts packing. At The Vic, Phil listens in as Shirley bemoans her lack of cash and offers her a drink on the house. He goes on to explain that the guys he threw out of the pub the previous day were drug dealers and Jack's involved with them. Phil maintains that drugs are a mugs' game, before offering to fix the tyre on the ice cream van. Finding Heather at home all packed and ready to move out, Shirley convinces her to stay as she wants to make it up to her. Shirley then heads out to see Jack and tells him that she wants in on his scheme

Back at her flat, Ryan walks in on Janine who looks to have been crying. She reassures him that everything's fine and fills him in on Archie's trip to the hospital. She venomously adds: "He's a sad case and all the more ripe for the picking."
