Alf doesn't see any reason not to let the flat to Ken. Audrey tells him to let Deirdre know if he's so sure she won't mind. Jim tells Liz that only by agreeing with Andy can they get him to change his mind. Alec plans to sack Tina for not turning up to work. Sally forces Alf to tell Deirdre. Deirdre feels that Ken is stalking her and begs Alf to put him off. Nigel Ridley drops Tina off two hours late for her shift. Bet sees Tina kissing Nigel and rushes to stop Alec from sacking her. The Gilroys realise that she's fireproof. Jim takes Andy to the recruitment office. Alf thinks Deirdre is in a state over nothing but Audrey makes him see Ken when she gets his address from Tracy. Bet tells Tina she knows about her and Nigel. She tries to make her see that she means nothing to him but Tina accuses her of being jealous and dares her to let Alec try sacking her. Ken refuses to give up the flat and tells Alf that their agreement was legally binding. Andy arranges to return to the office for a test.
