Plot
Ken continues to swallow the tablets. Bet suspects someone is in No.1. She finds Ken and forces him to tell her that he's only taken three tablets so far. He breaks down, telling her he's thrown everything away. She tells him he can't make Deirdre love him. He realises he won't achieve anything by dying. The Websters grow aggravated by Rosie's continual crying. The next morning, Ken is grateful that Bet stopped him. They agree never to tell anyone what happened. Mike gets the cold shoulder from the residents. Emily and Rita go to the tea dance and find Reg there. Reg tells Rita he's separated from his wife and makes it clear that he's interested in her. She does not feel the same way. Victor tells Derek he has to go to Darlington on a business visit with Angela Hawthorne.
