Albert is staggered that Ken is taking Deirdre on holiday in the Lake District. Emily is shocked at the news but talks herself into liking the idea. Betty wants her loft insulating. Eddie says he'll do it for her cheap. Len agrees to her just paying for the materials, so long as it's done that day. Betty gives Eddie the keys and he starts to work. Ken hires a car to take to Ullswater. Eddie meets Herbie Cook who had the next cell to him in Walton Jail. Herbie is a down and out so Eddie makes him a cuppa at Betty's. Deirdre is upset when Hilda tells her Tracy won't know who to call "daddy" next. Herbie pockets Betty's carriage clock before leaving. Albert tells Ken he should be taking the twins on holiday, not Tracy. Ken tells him it's none of his business. Ivy can't bring herself to ask Gail where Brian is living.
