Percy doesn't know that he's playing bowls for Phyllis's hand. Rita doesn't know how to tell Alf that she doesn't want him. Betty accuses Bet of making a fool of herself with Frank.

Rita tells Alf that she wants him to be a good friend, but she doesn't love him. Sam tells Percy that they're playing for Phyllis. Percy throws a game. Frank packs and tells Bet that he's got a job on a Norwegian cruise liner. She accuses him of running out on her and slaps his face. He asks her to come with him, for a holiday.
