Plot[]
After Deirdre's hurried departure, Ken and Sue are embarrassed by what has happened. Sue is upset that Deirdre had a key to the house and is angry when Ken thanks her for going to bed with him. Gail is annoyed that the Baldwins haven't taken Roy's offer seriously. Maureen is fed up that Bill is more interested in the new flat than making love to her. Mike is amazed when Martin tells him Roy really has got £35,000 from an inheritance. Ken begs Deirdre to forgive him, saying he made a mistake sleeping with Sue. She tells him he used Sue and it's disgusting. Mike tells Alma she must sell to Roy as he has the cash but Alma feels that would be taking advantage of him. Deirdre takes time off from work and goes to see Tracy in London. Sue tells Ken she's annoyed because he hasn't been honest with her over Deirdre. She asks him to make his mind up between them. Alma tells Roy she won't sell the cafe to him and accuses Gail of taking advantage of Roy to hang onto her own job. Gail is furious when Alma tells her she won't let her exploit Roy.
