Norris is transfixed when Diana Black enters the Kabin to pay off her mother's magazines. Rita watches amused as he flaunts himself before Diana. At work Geena is concerned about the gossips. Shelley tries to reassure her. Charlotte Morris turns up at the Hillman's. She apologises, then leaves for Australia.

Diana comes back and asks Norris to find a home for her mother's dog. Rita tells Norris that she wants him. Norris gets ready to see Diana. He is disappointed when Rita tells him she has a husband. After his date with Sarah, Ade lets himself into Ken's car and drives off. Meanwhile, Ken tells Kevin that he is delighted with the progress Ade has made at the garage.
