Plot[]
Vera looks forward to the Rhyl holiday. She's not bothered if Ivy is going off with George. Mavis plans a holiday in Majorca but worries that she'll be stuck with Emily. Mike asks Emily not to tell the police about the £4,000. To avoid causing distress to Mrs Ashton she agrees. Mike tells Bet about the money. She tells him that there was no money in the briefcase when she gave it to the police. Mrs Ashton tells Det Constable Meadows that Don should have had a lot of money on him. Mike tells Meadows he didn't give him any money. Emily is horrified at his lies and is upset when Mike uses Ernie's shooting as an excuse for her behaviour. The Tilsleys take the tenancy of 33 Hammond Road. Emily tells Mike she is disgusted with him. He tells her that he suspects Bet, Wilf and Hilda. Emily tells him she can't stomach him any more and is thinking of resigning. Hilda tells Mike she looked in the briefcase and there was a big envelope in it. Kevin meets Michelle's dad and is impressed by her big house. Mike threatens Bet with a brewery investigation if he doesn't get his money back.
