Plot
Gertie Robson starts work at the Community Centre. The Ogdens are disappointed they didn't get the job and Stan feels the Bishops have sabotaged it. The residents are amazed at Sand. Emily is very against it. Albert decides he's not going to like Gertie but she wins him over. Lucille flaunts her boyfriend Danny Burrows around. Ken tells Albert the twins won't be living with them. Emily exposes Rain's author - Shelley Summers - as a seventeen-year old income tax clerk, Sheila Birtwhistle, who's copied the works of Delaney, O'Brien and Lawrence and made up the play. They realise they can't put it on. In its place a victorious Emily suggests The Importance of Being Earnest.
