Episode recap
In this episode of Coronation Street, Dennis faces a warning that he will be sacked if he makes another mistake. Seeking that exact outcome, Dennis intentionally takes the blame for a smashed crate so that he will be dismissed from his position. Meanwhile, Len reveals that the members of the PPOP are all doing business with Laurie. Len also shares that Alderman Langton has sold his share of the factory to Laurie, and given the heavy workload at both the shop and the club, Len considers taking on an apprentice.

Ken tells Val that he does not need a wife, but rather someone who understands him, leading both of them to the painful realization that they should never have married. After Ken leaves to drown his sorrows, he returns home to discover that Val has already departed, and Val soon arrives at Dave's flat carrying her suitcase.
