Episode 1719 (6th July 1977)

Plot
The Bishops, Alf, Len and Ken join forces to secure Ena's job. Bet and Renee prepare for a party in Ashton-under-Lyne with Les Fox and Eric Bailey. Rita and Mavis shut Kabin for the afternoon to shop in Manchester, to spite Len. Councillor Tattersall tells Ena she has no right to live in the flat as she doesn't do anything at the Centre. He tells her he's going to put her in an Old Folk's home. She begins to feel frightened. Les and Eric make sure Bet and Renee have left for their "date" in Ashton before breaking into the shop. Emily sees the men loading their van from the shop and thinks it's strange. Ernie threatens Tattersall with violence if he evicts Ena. When Tattersall insults Ena in the Rovers, Len has to be stopped from hitting him. Tattersall tells Ena he's lodged an official complaint about her. Alf tells him he's discovered Tattersall wants Ena out so his niece can have the job and the flat. Tattersall is furious. Rita makes Len a special tea and they apologise to each other. Bet and Renee return from their wild goose chase to find the shop has been ransacked.
