Jenny feels she's just gone on holiday. Alec has a Rovers' strip printed very cheaply. He is one man down on the team and Gazza the Giant is roped in. Alec is so confident he ups the bet with Maurice to £50. Mike fears he could do better then Robert any day. Robert tells him about a deal he's doing in Alcazar for land and whets Mike's appetite.
