Geoff Siddall plans a trip to Belgium to collect some cars. He asks Elsie to come with him. Chalkie throws a "welcome home" party for Bob. Eddie wants to invest his £1,000 in Geoff's business but Marion feels that it's too risky. Phyllis gatecrashes Bob's party, much to Chalkie's annoyance. Chalkie makes a play for Bet at the party whilst Bob chats Deirdre up. Mavis and Victor clash over how to end their short story. Mavis wants a happy ending but Victor wants it left in the air. Eddie gives Geoff a cheque for £1,000 to invest in his business but he doesn't want Marion to know. Bet makes progress with Bob at the party.
