Plot[]
Stuck on the train, Ray and Deirdre become fearful over the unanswered phone. Tracy cries at No.5, next to unconscious Ena. Emily grows concerned about the crying. Elsie fears something has happened and persuades Ernie to break a window so they can enter the house. Emily takes care of Tracy whilst Elsie phones for an ambulance. Ena is rushed to hospital. The Langtons return home at midnight. When they see the broken window and Tracy gone, Deirdre becomes hysterical. Alf helps Betty when a buyer for the cabinet is expected, to make sure she isn't conned. Elsie tells Ivy that if they strike Mike will be pleased; he'll get out of paying them. Betty passes Alf off as her husband to Arthur Stokes who turns out to be a fellow councillor. Stokes assumes they are living together. Ray blames Blanche for the accident.
