- Summary: The continuing story of Brookside Close - Year 12.
- Description:Eddie's been up all night talking to the union's regional officer, and the union's decision is to ballot the men. Eddie shows Rosie the list of the thirty people that Management are proposing to lose, and she's upset to see Joey's name. Eddie's not sure if a ballot is right, but his hands are tied. Eddie's annoyed to see that Carl spent the night on the couch. Sarah is desperate to keep her marriage together, while Carl wants his freedom. He says they were pushed into getting married just because Sarah was pregnant. Rosie's upset to hear that Sarah's made an appointment to see a solicitor about a divorce, and asks her not to rush into anything. Sarah says of course she's willing to give Carl another chance, but it's up to him. Eddie tries to make Carl face up to his responsibilities, and lets it slip that he and Rosie split up briefly, which is also overheard by Lee. Carl wants to know more and a distressed Lee says it was because of him. Eddie makes the point that he and Rosie put their marriage back together. Rosie then reveals to Eddie that Sarah's going to see a solicitor. Eddie tells Sarah to just hang on until Carl sees sense. Rosie tries to appeal to Carl by making him realise how a divorce would affect Rebecca, and that he should stay with Sarah for her sake. Eddie is so frustrated with Carl, that he comes close to thumping him. Sarah finally tells Carl that she's seeing a solicitor about a divorce and shocks Carl by saying she won't want him seeing Rebecca. Sarah decides that she may as well leave, and Carl realises he can't accept the fact that he's going to lose them for good. He asks her to stay, and Sarah is thrilled that they're back together. But Carl is already regretting what he's done. The atmosphere is broken by the arrival of Mo, who is panicking about her weigh-in at Flab Attack tonight - whe wants them all to help her reach her target weight! Carl offers to help, but Eddie wants him to spend time sorting out his marriage. However, Eddie gets drawn in and bets Carl that Mo won't lose the weight. Carl forces Mo to go jobbing, and Lee joins in, and she manages to lose two pounds. They decide to make her sweat off the last pound by turning the bathroom into a steam room and locking her in. However, she's soon forgotten about, and Lee is shocked when he goes up to find the bathroom empty. The mystery of Mo's disappearance is solved when she's found clinging to a drainpipe, trying to climb down from the bathroom!
