Elsie assures Rita she'll look after Len for her in her absence. Ken contacts Janet's sister Helen Ormerod but she doesn't know anything about the money. Vince Denton accuses Ken of trying to keep the money. He shows Ken paperwork to back up his claim. Rita throws a farewell party. The Bishops give her a shield with the Weatherfield coat of arms on it. Len tells Mavis she's manageress of The Kabin. Helen tells Ken they should keep the money and split it half way. Deirdre gets drunk at the party and doesn't relieve Ray from his babysitting shift. Ken tells Denton he can have his money and Helen can have Janet's.
