Plot
The paper boys and girls strike outside the Kabin. Mavis is stunned when Derek sacks all the picketing strikers. Bet tells Vicky she's not going on holiday whilst she's rowing with Alec. Vicky tells her she's decided to stay and exploit Alec's weaknesses, like Bet does. Vicky gets Alec to give her £50 for a new coat. Steve goes for Andy when he calls him a cradle snatcher. Andy gets his own back by telling Jim that Steve is going to an all-night party. Bet leaves for Tenerife. Mike visits Gordon Barrett and tells him to leave Alma out of the divorce. Barrett reminds Mike that he named Alma as co-respondent to speed the divorce up. Mike tells him he's changed his mind. Barrett refuses to change the petition. Vicky and Steve shop for a coat together at Afflex's Palace. She buys a figure hugging dress instead and tells Steve she'd like to go to the all night party with him. Derek tries to get the paper boys to betray Nigel Chadwick, telling them they'll miss their money. Alec tells Steve he doesn't want him anywhere near Vicky in future. Mavis accuses Derek of ruining everything at the Kabin. Vicky accuses Alec of treating her like a blank cheque. He sends her to bed. She tells him he can't stop her seeing Steve or going to Liverpool for the all-night party.
