Jack signs on the dole but can't get any money as he's self-employed so he applies for assistance. Sgt Tony Cunliffe calls on Betty. She tells him that she doesn't want a lodger as she's used to living alone. He understands. Ken gets the holiday tickets. He can't resist Sally any more and kisses her passionately. She is glad and tells him that she's fancied him for ages. Betty is delighted to discover Tony knew Cyril and finds that she has a photo with them both on. She changes her mind and invites him to move in. Terry uses Jack's car but has to pay for the privilege. Sally tells Billy she doesn't want to go away with him.
