Dot has a nasty fall down the stairs

Dot is rushing to get to the launderette while looking after Jim at the same time. Suddenly, she loses her footing and falls head-first down the stairs. Jim calls out from the front room, but Dot is unconscious. At the same time, Carol and Kat visit the launderette but are confused to find it shut. Kat heads off to find Heather for an explanation, but Heather doesn't know anything about it and says that she doesn't have a set of keys. Annoyed, Kat declares that Heather should be opening up the launderette because she doesn't have anything else going on in her life - which hurts Heather's feelings.

Kat and Carol then head off to Dot's, and when they start banging on the front door, they hear Dot crying out in pain. When they look through the letterbox, they spot Dot lying on the floor. Yusef notices a growing crowd outside Dot's house and manages to gain entry, before tending to Dot while Carol looks after Jim. Yusef reports that Dot has broken her arm and convinces her to go to hospital. Later, Carol washes up for Dot and tells Jack that they need to make sure Jim is properly looked after from now on.

Meanwhile, Christian is outraged that Syed has stolen Roxy's client list. Syed defends himself but Christian threatens to tell Roxy the truth - prompting Syed to storm off. Later, Syed informs Tanya of Christian's intentions but Tanya insists that she doesn't care now and is just looking forward to opening her own place after the wedding. At the same time, Christian tries to tell Roxy about the plotting that's going on, but she's too distracted by the fact that Ronnie has disappeared. Christian eventually informs Syed that he won't be telling Roxy after all. Syed then asks Christian to help him move his things out of the salon, while Tanya tells Christian to move everything to her house as she'll be opening up her own salon in her lounge.

Elsewhere, Ronnie's loved ones are upset and worried as they wonder where she could be; Heather is upset over Kat's hurtful comments and decides to try internet dating, despite Shirley's protestations that she will only meet perverts and freaks online; Kat encourages Jean to go on a course so she can do all of the cooking at The Vic; Fatboy is stunned when his father Ashley turns up at his stall, looking dishevelled and needing his help after losing the house; and Michael feels guilty when Roxy bursts into tears over Ronnie at the pub, knowing that he laid into Ronnie the previous night.
