Norris refuses to return to the B&B and offends Vera by criticising her cleanliness standards. Rita is quick to point out he can't stay with her. Spider's interview goes well but when he is forced to deny a single mother benefit he snaps, standing on his desk and shouting about condemning the poor. He resigns.
