Relax, Ken hasn't gone far. Only to the nearby metropolis of Manchester, where the landlady of the B&B he's staying at has taken a bit of a shine to him ("I can do you another egg!"). She's a widow, you see.
But Ken already has a plethora of women in his life, and he hot foots it to see one of them - the lovely hairdresser Denise, mother of his son Daniel and owner of a coiffure that looks sorely in need of an intensive conditioning treatment.
But I digress. Ken (having lost Tracy-love to Her Majesty's Pleasure, and Adam and Peter to the heady pleasures of Portsmouth) is feeling the need to bond with something bearing his genetic legacy, in this case the boy Daniel. Denise is understandably less keen, given that Ken hasn't had anything to do with them in the years since their last meeting, other than pay an undisclosed sum into Daniel's trust fund on a regular basis. Payments which Ken will have to reduce, given that he's spent all his money on Tracy-love's legal expenses.
Anyhoo, Denise says she'll ask Daniel whether he wants to see Ken or not, and she shows Ken the door.
Then Ken pops home for some more clothes, ignoring the nicotine-drenched pleadings of Deirdre that if he'll only stay, she'll find a way to "give him space." Presumably there's a little unexploited priest hole under the stairs or something where she can stow him. Ken rejects this offer and goes back to the B&B to see if that egg is still up for grabs.
Meanwhile, Jerry is upsetting Gail and Claire via the medium of (the late) James Brown, but even this amusement can't prepare him for the bombshell his daughter Mel drops in this episode - she wants to join the police force!
And Lianne has been playing fast and loose with our Liam's affections again. Leave him alone, you wonky-eyed strumpet!
