Plot[]
Jenny wants to stall for time as Patrice rushes her into marrying as soon as possible. Patrice tells Alan his intentions. Alan is astounded and tells them that there's no way he will agree to them marrying. Gloria is pleased that Mike could talk to her about his plans. Sally sees Amy Burton pocket a jar of coffee in the corner shop. Vera is surprised when Amy starts giving her presents. The building society's surveyor looks over No.13 for the Websters. Lisa Woods tells Patrice that Jenny stole her boyfriend. Jenny tells him that Lisa is lying and is obviously jealous of their love. He believes her. Mike enjoys watching the girls get into a panic over what his plans are for the factory. Jenny doesn't want to get married on the sly. She tells Patrice that she doesn't want to rush into things. Mike tells the girls denim is no longer selling well so they're going to switch production to curtains as they're cheaper to produce. He warns them that the work rate will be less so they'll have to work harder to earn their wages. He tells them they are free to leave if they don't like the idea.
