Brian sets off to Edinburgh despite Gail begging him not to go; she doesn't trust herself. Hilda tells Kevin that Sally must leave, immediately; they've misused her house. Gail takes time off work to go out with Ian. Jack offers to give Vera driving lessons planning to undermine her confidence. Elsie Seddon tracks Sally down for her dole money. Sally has to give her £10 out of her dole for Eddie Seddon's beer money but Hilda is shocked that the Seddons only want Sally for her money. Gail enjoys Ian's impulsiveness. He takes Nicky and her off to Blackpool. Gail tells him she's bored of her routine.
