Susan is furious that Mike wants her to stop being his sales manager but be a shop assistant. She is annoyed when Mike makes a meal of Hopscotch's figures being down. Mike tells Linda Norton that there's no job for her at the factory shop. Alan takes up Jenny's idea and plans a secret wedding to spring on Rita. He takes Len's death certificate and his divorce papers to the registrar. Susan accuses Mike of running Hopscotch into the ground and trapping her in a shop so that that the prospect of motherhood will seem inviting. Alan books his wedding at the register office.
