Plot[]
Rita doesn't believe Alison's story about her rich boyfriend, Harvey Shaw. With Hilda returning, Minnie agrees to take Dolores in if Stan looks after Bobby. Len makes enquiries about Harvey Shaw, pretending to be a mate. He gets Harvey's phone number and tells him he can come down any time he wants a good hiding. Albert asks Ken to move back into No.1 but he chooses to remain at No.11 by himself. Maggie gets worried with Alf in the shop. Harvey Shaw turns up, ready to fight Len. He thaws when Len makes it clear he just wants Alison and Jonathan out of his girlfriend's flat. Albert keeps getting at Ken about Janet, demanding to know why they've split. He thinks they didn't try hard enough. Ken tells him he's sick of his interference and calls him a stupid old devil. Harvey gives Ray £20 for Alison. She returns the money to him and collapses into his arms. As the couple depart, Harvey thanks the residents for bringing them together and hopes he never sees them again. Minnie hears from Maggie that the Health Inspectors are still about and puts Dolores back in the Ogdens' yard. Hilda returns to Manchester.
