Bet is furious to discover Alf's been pretending to fancy her. Hilda demands that her name be included in the draw. Mike pulls the draw, Vera, Hilda, two machinists (May Thomas and Florrie Smith) and Eunice Marriott from packing win. Ivy tries to hide her disappointment. Paul Haines warns Suzie not to put people off buying the house. Suzie advises Steve to take the London job, to get away from Mike.
