Vera begs Terry to lend Jack the money he needs. Terry refuses, maintaining he'll never get it back. Billy discovers Rita has a lot of money. He offers to help her invest her money. She tells him that she's not interested. Mike tries to chat Samantha Benson up. He asks her out for lunch and she goes after seeing Billy soft-soaping Rita. Billy is furious that she went out with Mike. Vera gives Brian all her wages and Brian gives her the car back. She asks him to let-on to Jack that he's got to pay the car off at £15 a week, which Brian will give back to Vera. Vera and Ivy make up. Billy tries to interest Alf in his wine bar venture. Alf isn't interested. Samantha goes to the Isle of Man. Mike takes her to the airport. She tells Billy that Mike at least is a gentleman. Jack thinks Brian saw sense, giving him the car back. Billy hears that Emily received compensation from Ernie's death and has never touched it.
