Roy's mam tells Becky she needs to buck her ideas up and Becky agrees. She even asks for a hug. Not that the old battleaxe obliged, though.
Nick tells Gail that him and Becky are no-longer seeing each other and she's left her job. Gail puts herself forward for it, again. This time wimpy Nick caves and gives her a trial.
Chris is still being a clumsy tit and ends up accidentally belting Jason round the head, rattling both braincells. Owen sends Chris to take Jason to the doctors, taking compassion to another level by docking his wages for however long he's at the doctors.
Kylie and David's reign at the salon gets off to a flyer, telling Rita that, "even though she's old" she can still have 'fun' and have a pink streak put in her hair, complete with a Happy Hardcore soundtrack. Rita doesn't appreciate this, for some reason (I don't know why, she always looked like the Happy Hardcore loving type, to me), and walks out.
At the work-site, Owen blames Chris for the cancellation of their job. Chris deals with this fairly well. As long as telling your boss they 'can stuff their job' is taking it well, anyway.
Gail comes in for a haircut and Kylie tries to talk her into some beauty treatments. Now, Kylie could be the world's most amazing beauty therapist and yet she'd still have one hell of a job to get Gail looking anything other than 'foul'.
Cindy 'Stella' Beale is invited into the Barlow's house, by Deirdre, to see Simon. Simon reveals that he's not allowed to call her gran but does so anyway. The little rebel. He does this on the assumption that "you can never have too many grans." This kid is wise beyond his years. Imagine the pocket money!
Simon continues to quiz Cindy Beale about her giving up Leanne. He's like a little Jeremy Paxman, that kid. Seriously, he's a bloody star. If he is not a BAFTA winner in the future, there is no hope for British acting.
Maria finds out Chris quit his job and has a go at him (there's that cycle again) and goes to beg Owen to get her boyfriend his job back.
Gail is surprised with the job Kylie did on her nails while Amber comes in for a haircut. David does it. It looks shit but Amber seems happy enough. She is an idiot, though.
Julie comes into the salon for some reflexology, that Kylie promptly mixes up with reiki. When Julie points this out, she actually gets to work properly and cripples Julie. Turns out, maybe Kylie didn't go on that college course, after all. Who'd have thunk it, eh?
Audrey arranges a night out with reptillian Marc's alter-ego, Marcia. This can only end well, or they wouldn't have shown it.
Cindy/Stella is playing quite nicely with Simon until Leanne and Peter arrive. Leanne sees her arse and takes Simon home, much to Stella's dismay. Back at home, Leanne gives Simon a ticking off about liking his gran (gran #5, that is, if you're keeping count) but Simon bites back! (See? He's a hero.) Peter backs up Simon and Leanne pouts like a spoilt child. A spoilt, given away at birth child.
The first part ended with Chris finding out Maria had got his job back. This sends him a bit mental and starts trashing the joint. He flips tables and everything. And, thus, the cycle is complete.
Presumably, he'd just seen that Greggs in Lewisham on fire. That made me angry, too.
