Plot
Jack has decided that it isn't fair to keep Tootsie the dog but dreads breaking the news to Victoria. Much to his surprise, however, she takes the news well and with Paddy's agreement they take Tootsie to a dog shelter. Edna hears the news and harangues Paddy for letting it happen. She then sets off in hot pursuit to rescue the poor pooch - much to the amusement of Len and the delight of Paddy. Bernice and Diane continue to plan for their girls' night out but Bernice puts her foot in it when she decides to invite Nicola along. Diane and Tricia try desperately to put her off the idea but Bernice sticks to her guns when Louise reveals that she has invited Angie. Viv is excited about her plans for the cafe and sets about measuring up to refit some of the kitchen. Bob doesn't share her enthusiasm, however, and warns Viv that her venture could be costly. Viv carries on regardless and tries to woo Eric into helping smooth the way for her plans. But Eric is left feeling puzzled when Bob also tries to have a quiet word - in an attempt to scupper his wife's dream.
