Plot[]
Rita grows suspicious of Alan. Gloria tackles Alan about his feelings for Rita. He tells her that Rita wants a relationship with him but he isn't interested. Gloria advises him to put Rita straight. Hilda has a sprained ankle and can't work. She gets Sally to stand in for her at the Lowthers and Baldwins. Jenny deliberately stirs things by telling Rita that Alan was with Gloria when she called round. Hilda is touched when the Lowthers send her flowers, via Sally. Kevin and Sally make the most of Hilda being laid up to make love freely in the house. Jack fills the Graffiti Club with drinkers but Alec still refuses to employ him, giving the job to Gloria instead. Rita calls at the Graffiti and is upset to see Gloria and Alan kissing.
