Plot
Mavis nurses the egg and watches it, waiting for it to hatch. Gail looks over the garage. She thinks it's a dump and isn't keen to put all their money into it. Fred offers Sammy Chadwick weekly instalments but Sammy demands payment in full as he needs to get a hire car for his wife. Mavis carries the egg around in her bra to keep it warm. She calls in the RSPCA. As Annie is away, Fred hires the Rover out to Sammy for the week to wipe off his debt. The RSPCA Man tells Mavis the egg won't hatch but offers to supply a cock bird for her to mate Harriett with. Mavis refuses, worried that Harriett won't like him. Brian and Gail decide to take a chance on the garage. They start advertising Sykes and Tilsley's Garage. Annie shocks Fred by telling him she wants to take the Rover away with her. He tells her the brakes are pulling. She is convinced to take the coach. Fred hands the Rover over to Sammy.
