Jim finds that he isn't entitled to claim the dole as he was sacked. Billy is surprised when Betty tells him they're going on holiday as she doesn't want to be around when Vera begs her to return. Andy is pleased when the Duckworths want him to carry on working at the Rovers. Fiona decides she'll have a go at modelling.
