Audrey finds Alf in No.11 fighting for breath and calls an ambulance. He is rushed to hospital. Deirdre feels that she's caused Alf to have a heart attack and breaks down. Ken tells her that Alf must have been ill anyway. Rita supports Audrey at the hospital. Dr McLean tells Audrey that Alf has suffered a minor heart attack. Deirdre offers to help Audrey out at the shop. Audrey yells at her that she's got a nerve; she's hounded Alf out of office and into a hospital bed. Deirdre breaks down.
