PlotEdit

Mavis celebrates her fortieth birthday. Alf and Renee steal themselves to tell Bet she has to vacate the flat but she tells them she's moving out to a new flat anyway. Len realises he won't be able to get credit for the materials for the hotel job. Bet tells Hilda she didn't squirt Stan with scent. Len puts The Kabin down as security to get a bank loan.
