Ken doesn't know where Susan is but hopes she's in Newcastle. The factory boiler goes wrong and Ida decides the temperature is too low for the girls to work in. She suggests a walk-out but nobody is interested as the pubs aren't open. Mike returns from working in London to find Susan at his flat. He is forced to tell her all about his affair with Deirdre. He swears that he is not seeing her just to get back at Ken. Susan tells him it changes everything and runs off. Mike calls at No.1 demanding to see Susan. Deirdre tells him that she isn't at No.1. Don Worthington asks Jenny to give Alan a chance. She feels that he doesn't want her. Alf is annoyed when Audrey misuses the price gun. Ken is delighted to hear Mike doesn't know where Susan is.
