Alf and Jill Mason search for Nicky. Jill thinks someone has taken him. Ken and Annie organise a search party. Les Charlton takes Gail to the Farrier's Arms.

Annie fears that Nicky might have fallen down the cellar trap door but Bet finds he's not there. Hilda tries to comfort Ivy. Ivy decides to phone the police and hears Nicky crying in No.7.
