Don asks Martin to try to get on with Ivy although Martin already thinks he went too far. Curly starts advertising the Bettabuy bus. Phyllis annoys Percy at the cafe and he withdraws his custom. Jim starts work on a BSA Bantam bike. Andy is amused as Steve spends all his time working on it. Curly plans the bus route so that it stops on Coronation Street. The residents think it's a good idea. Joanne arrives to stay and Andy falls for her. Alf is horrified to find a poster in The Kabin's window advertising the bus and fears it'll ruin him. Flick realises that Joanne is going to be a handful. Gail worries about the cafe with Alma and Phyllis running it. The Bettabuy bus is launched.
