Jack recovers the missing bike part from the Wiltons' front garden. Dave takes the Barlows out to Alton Towers. Ken is in better spirits as he plans a romantic picnic with Wendy. Kevin works the morning at the garage, promising to take Sally out later. Jack is forced to move the bike out of No.9 and he stores it in the cellar of the Rovers. Tina distracts Alec while Jack transports the bike. Rita moves into the flat at No.10a, telling Jenny and Flick the house is theirs. Kevin is forced to work on and can't take Sally out. Alf closes the shop and calls on Rita with a bottle of wine. Rita tries to turn him down politely but he insists. Ken's car breaks down, Kevin tells him it will cost £250 to repair but Ken tells Wendy he can't afford that sum. Jack is dirty from handling the bike and gets banished to the cellar, much to his delight. Kevin is surprised when Sally starts talking about doing the spare bedroom up. Audrey discovers Alf and Rita sharing a bottle of wine. Jenny and Flick are stood up. Ken refuses to let Wendy settle the repair bill and decides he has no choice but to sell the car. Percy is out of his leg plaster. Bet, Mavis, Emily, Flick and Jenny force Rita to have a flat warming. Dave is keen to see Deirdre on her own. Alec confronts Jack in the cellar with his bike.
