Deirdre tells him she's prepared to fight him if things don't improve. Jenny has an interview at Ashcroft Department Store, where Steph works. Kevin finds it hard looking for another job. Sally advises him to return to the garage but he refuses, so Mark tells him to get knotted. Jenny gets the job. Kevin agrees to work a month's notice when he goes to the garage to collect his wrench. Alec auditions tenor Tudor Parry-Jones. His loud voice carries into the bar and No.1. With Phil at No.1, Ken is surprised to see his Mercedes parked outside the house. Bet tells him it'll be Tudor's.
