Plot[]
Sally is pleased to have spent the night with Greg but he is uncomfortable with the girls. She becomes irritable when Rosie keeps asking for Kevin. Ken tries to cheer Toyah up, telling her that she has to accept rejection if she's going to be a writer. She tells him that she's been rejected all her life and thinks it started with her real father. Les sees Toyah coming out of Ken's house and overhears them talking about lessons. He accuses Ken of being a pervert and punches him. Toyah is horrified and explains about the lessons but Les still thinks it's disgusting that Ken's taking money off her. When he insinuates Toyah and Ken have been up to something Toyah stamps on his foot. Curly tells Anne they shouldn't sack Alma as she's their best worker. Rita is stunned when Alec tells her that he's going back to Southampton. She thinks it's because she refused to marry him. Ken retires with his bleeding nose and shrugs off a concerned Toyah. Anne tells Alma that she's not going to be made redundant as Curly thinks so highly of her. Sally is annoyed when her childminder says Rosie is clearly disturbed by something. Janice slaps Toyah's face when she says that Les isn't her father and belongs in the sewer. Natalie tells Kevin that she needs her money out of the garage. Sally tries to explain to an upset Rosie that Kevin is gone.
