Plot[]
Mavis doesn't want to go out with Harry Ashton. The paperboys and girls ask Mavis to sack Harry, saying they resent him taking a kid's job and threaten to leave if he doesn't. Harry realises how they feel and gives his notice in. Vera pushes Ivy into cementing her relationship with Don but Ivy is happy with the way things are progressing slowly. Mavis tells the paperboys they are petty-minded and selfish. She redesigns the rounds so they all share the rough flats and they agree to stay on, as does Harry. Brian decides he wants to make his relationship with Gail official.
