Albert tells the Barlows he can't cope with any more rows and wants them to move out of No.1 so that he can have the rest of his life in peace. Chalkie agrees to move into Alice Kirby's house in Chapel Yard. Brian gets fed up with coping alone at the garage, as Ron Sykes is never around. Deirdre and Ken both feel that they can't leave Albert alone. Emily says she'd take care of him. She points out that Albert doesn't want them to go - he just wants them to have a happy marriage. She advises them to prove to him that their marriage is stable. Mike calls at the shop whilst Ken is there and tries to be pleasant. Deirdre tells Ken he'll have to start trusting her again. Bert tells Ivy about his mini-stroke. He tries to convince her everything will be alright, even though he can never work with machinery again. Phyllis hears that Chalkie is moving in with Alice Kirby. She calls him a hypocrite. The Barlows tell Albert they don't want to leave him and convince him that they love each other and he's part of their family. Brian loses customers as he's so busy. He decides to sort Ron out.
