Maria is horrified to hear from Alicia that Mickey P has been cheating on her with a mysterious woman. Meanwhile Mickey P is equally horrified to discover that his secret is out, especially as Alicia is the mystery girl he's been unfaithful with. Kris sees an opportunity to win Maria's affections and offers to 'sort' Mickey out using his stage combat skills. And Angelo, who is still considering the Café Mania offer to buy him out, decides to introduce a suggestion box to the café so he can gauge what his customers think about the place. The results make rather unpleasant reading. Karen suspects that she may be pregnant but Dave is less convinced - he suggests she takes a pregnancy test before decorating the spare room as a nursery. Meanwhile, Shelley engineers a 'chance' encounter with an old flame, who is horrified to see her again. « read less
