Plot[]
Reg starts work at Firman's Freezers. He leaves Maureen running the shop down until it can be sold. Vera tries to secure Rita and Sally's silence over what they saw in Blackpool. Audrey has a great time at the salon trying all the beauty treatments as Fiona has cancelled all the appointments. Denise realises that Audrey is not the right person to help out and tells Ken to get rid of her. Alf is annoyed that Audrey is working as she can't help him open a precinct. He drags her off when Ken tells them that Denise has decided to close the salon for a few days. Fiona is fed up that there's no work to do. Maureen refuses to close the shop until 8.00pm, telling Reg they have an obligation to their customers. Maud pledges her support.
