Deirdre tells her that the house is still on the market. Mike hints to Audrey that Alf is earning money on her tax. Alf dodges the subject when she presses him for an explanation. Alec puts the prices up to make up for the loss in sales. Steve stands up for Tracy when Andy picks on her at school. Tracy is astonished to find Ken teaching her class. Jack returns home after an arduous 12-hour trek and lays into Vera about her fling with Lester. She rows about his drinking and lack of interest in her.
