Amy eschews Galentine's Day with her BFFs to go to a dance and then club afterwards with Weatherfield's Number One Reformed Miscreant, Jacob, who says he can get fake IDs for Miss Spellman and Ms Alahan. Summer the square says no - I guess she'd prefer to be at home with her bourbon creams and jaffa cakes. They start getting ready at about three in the afternoon, glamming up and doing a bit of pre-loading. Who, when they're eighteen, goes to school dances, DJd by the Geography teacher in the hall, when they could be puking up vodka-red bulls in Wetherspoons instead? Instead of spiking the punch, Amy just adds a little voddy to Asha's glass and pretends that her swaying is a new Tik Tok dance, just before all of them are ejected by Mr Osbourne (Daniel). They go off to the club, where Amy collapses and is taken to Kate Oates Memorial, where the doctor says she has GMB in her system. Steve immediately blames Jacob, although us viewers have seen Amy drink from Daniel's glass, which Max spiked. Jacob then reveals that he and Miss Barlow-McDonald are an item.
Lydia pretends that her secret married lover has sent her a pink bra and makes out that she's upset as he's blowing hot and cold. Sarah, dressed as a fun-seeking Edwardian widow, sympathises but is more bothered about Adam standing her up at Weatherfield's (only) hotel because a client is upset. Lydia then make-believes that she is meeting her married lover, and sneaks off to spy on Adam, and spend money on his credit card and lose a watch, so it can only be a matter of time before Sarah puts two and two together and makes forty-eight. Poor Lydia's son, always dumped on the child-minder whilst his mama engages in professional stalking.
Bernie gives Chemma a voucher for Speed Daal, which she seemed to have forgotten about during the time that they were subsisting on pink wafers past their sell-by. Unfortunately, no-one read the small print and it's not valid on 14th Feb. Chesney uses this (and Bernie's toddler potato print painting workshop) as another excuse to have another go at his mother-in-law, even though Yasmeen eventually accepts the voucher.
Elaine - well I was going to use a rude phrase, but this is a family blog, so I'll just say hinders Sally in her attempt to have some Valentine's fun with Tim. The only couple who actually get it on are Double D who have a post-school dance tryst. Yay?
