Plot[]
Mike is annoyed to hear that Fred has been using the van to give lifts to women. Rita finds Mavis locked in her flat. She has no regrets about jilting Derek. Vera and Ivy win the £500 jackpot at bingo and split it fifty-fifty. Jack picks them up in his taxi, hoping for a share-out. Mavis feels awful about jilting Derek so Rita tells her how Derek didn't turn up either. She feels even more awful now because she was jilted. Humiliated, she thinks that everyone will be laughing at her. Jack talks Ivy and Vera into celebrating their win with a meal out. Ken tells Sally that she's cheapening herself hanging around Billy. She tells him that it's nothing to do with him. The Duckworths and Ivy get drunk. A policeman watches Jack as he opens the driver's door.
