Plot[]
Roy Valentine starts at the yard. Suzie hears from a girlfriend in London that someone called Terry has her address. She packs and tells Elsie that she's moving on. She tells Elsie that Terry is a bloke she's trying to run away from. She tells Elsie she's frightened of him. Len realises he's forgotten his wedding anniversary. Elsie and Marion promise Suzie they won't let Terry get near her. She agrees to see what happens. Len gives Rita a gold necklace for their anniversary. She takes him out for a special meal. Terry Goodwin arrives at No.11. Elsie tells him that Suzie doesn't want to see him but lets him wait for her. Terry stuns Elsie by telling her that Suzie is his wife. Suzie is horrified to see him and refuses to talk to him.
