Rita looks over a Cortina which Mr Heslop is selling. Fred tests all the pies on sale at the Rovers. Rita thinks £1,900 is too much for the Cortina. Mr Heslop tells her he needs the money for his wife's operation. Fred orders pies from Cowards'. Betty warns him they're third-rate pies. He needs to use cheaper pies as he wants to include peas and chips. Brian sees Heslop trying to sell Rita the car and recognises him as a crooked dealer.
