Joe lets himself into Irma's flat, locking it behind him. She is terrified. Gregg and Gary tell Maggie that they think Irma is in danger. Gary rings Major Ryan.

Ena suggests they throw a welcome home party for Ken, inviting Irma and Joe. The residents persuade Joe and Irma to come to the party in the Rovers. The police and US Army M.P's rush to the street.
