Plot[]

Mavis goes down with flu. She struggles at The Kabin, feeling Louise is too young to run it alone but Louise makes her go to bed. Ivy and Gail realise No.5 is too small for two wives. Dan Johnson returns and he is put out to find Bet has left the flat. Ivy is annoyed when Gail makes her feel guilty for doing things for Brian. Rita agrees to help out at The Kabin as Mavis is ill. Bet views a bedsitter on Ludlow Avenue. She is depressed that she's still living in grotty flats with shared bathrooms. Hilda and Vera row in the street over the bingo prize. Hilda calls Vera a liar. Vera tells Hilda she'd compromise and take Stan on the holiday with her. Hilda tells her to stick the holiday. Ivy snaps at Gail when she cooks the wrong thing for tea. Gail tells her that she's had enough of living with her. Bert tells Brian there's a new estate of small houses being built. Dan helps Bet move into Ludlow Avenue. Annie is angry when Bet says she has a headache as she knows she wants to spend the evening with Dan. Brian agrees to look at the new houses for Gail's sake.
