Alf manages to walk about on crutches. Fred is jealous of Jack as Suzie takes to him because of his free lifts. Bet tells Vera that Jack has been taking Suzie for free rides. Vera tackles Jack about taking Suzie out. When Vera shouts at her in the Rovers, Suzie makes her look a fool by refusing to have a slanging match. Annie approves of the way she handled the situation. Bert visits the doctor. He reassures Ivy that his disability is temporary. The Council offer Phyllis a bungalow in Gorton Close. She invites Chalkie to live with her, or near her.
