Plot
With Ivy and Bert on holiday, Brian struggles to look after himself. Gail looks after him. Eddie feels that there's a bird trapped in Mavis' chimney. He uncovers the fireplace but can't reach the bird. Mavis worries about the bird's health and phones the RSPCA. Deirdre refuses to please Ken and cite Janice as she doesn't want everything to be dragged out. She's willing to take the blame herself for Tracy's sake. Mavis demands that the chimney breast is broken into to free the bird. Deirdre decides to leave the divorce to Ray. Ken worries that the papers will have a field day because of his job. He asks her to get Ray to cite person or persons unknown. She is horrified that he is grasping at anything to keep himself out of the divorce and accuses him of not caring what happens to her or Tracy. She tells him to get out of her life.
