Annie returns to the Rovers. Ken and Emily plan the panto. Blanche alters the costumes. Tricia tells Blanche she's seen Ray with a woman. Blanche and Len grow concerned that Ray is being unfaithful. Warren Coates turns up and shows Annie a picture of a Cheshire pub which could be hers next month. He tells her she has to move to the quieter pub. She easily outsmarts him and phones Douglas Cresswell, Managing Director of Newton & Ridley, and he orders a shaken Coates to leave a victorious Annie alone.
