Plot[]
Kevin is furious when Sally refuses to sign the bank documents to mortgage the house. He tells her that he's sick of her mucking him around but she accuses him of just being interested in her money. When Les rows at Toyah over the bomb call, she tells him to stop bossing her; he's not her real father. Greg urges Sally to stand firm and not sign the mortgage papers. Alec is furious when Vera docks his pay for spending so much time with Rita. The Duckworths are stunned when he tells them that they're petty and he wants out of the partnership. Sally is relieved when Kevin tells her it's obvious she doesn't want him so he's packing his bags. Anne is unnerved when Curly tells her that he'd like to meet her boyfriend. She tells him that there has to be cutbacks and tells him to sack part of his workforce, including Alma. Kevin packs and leaves Sally. Curly can't bring himself to sack Alma as he knows she needs her independence from Mike. Jack orders Vera to apologise to Alec as they can't afford him to dissolve the partnership. Sally tells Greg that she wants them to run away with the girls as soon as possible. Vera tries to apologise to Alec but he's adamant things have got to change.
