Plot[]
To show Mavis she won't be sued, Rita reads a bit of the novel to Stan, about 'Santos Olivier' and Stan doesn't recognise himself. Bet doesn't know whether or not to live with Mike. He shows Bet round No.5 to Len and Ray's amazement. Mavis asks Ken to read the book to see if any of it is libellous. Rita and Elsie try to dissuade Bet from moving into No.5. Ken doesn't think the book is libellous but he doesn't like it. Bet tells Mike she'll move in with him.
