After the roof of the Arches collapsed, it appears Steve rushed in to save Jackie and Gianni and was rather heroic. Melanie is impressed with Steve and says so on the bus to Brighton. Melanie and Sam chat - Melanie whinges about Ian, then calls Steve on Sam's mobile just to see if he's okay. Janine is a nuisance. Melanie watches Fred's behaviour and asks him directly if he is gay. He hopes that the rest of the Square will be as understanding as she is (especially Mick). Melanie tells Fred that her life lacks the presence of someone passionate, but worries she is being selfish. Fred advises her to "be selfish" for a change. Fred tries to fend off the attentions of various eager females, including Janine. Janine appears with the news that the Halloween Ball has been cancelled. Steve arrives and explains that it's because of the sound system. He is obviously delighted to see Melanie and she is equally delighted to see him.
