Plot[]
Part One: Jed tells Dennis he has an honest face so he should deal with Fred Nuttall. The Barlows close the post office. Jed tries to find a home for the fruit machine. Annie provides a cheeseboard in the bar. Jack warns Jerry that he isn't doing Len any favours by picking up the slack for him at the yard. Ken supervises vandals removing graffiti from a monument. Jackie bumps into him when she covers the story and they make another date. Minnie and Annie wish they could go abroad like Emily. Elsie worries about Jed leading Dennis astray. Nuttall corners Dennis in the Rovers when he realises he's been swindled. Len tries to intervene but is too inebriated to be of any real help. Dennis tells Nuttall that Jed conned him too and he's thrown the socks away as they were stolen and police are sniffing around. Nuttall believes him.
Part Two: Ena is repaid her £15 leaving Minnie with £5. Elsie is disgusted with Len and pours black coffee down him to sober him up. Jerry puts his foot down and makes him do overtime to finish the work he should have done earlier. Emily refuses to have the fruit machine at Gamma Garments. Jed convinces her to have a go at it in order to get her hooked and is dumbfounded when she wins the jackpot with one penny. Elsie tells Ken that she saw him with Jackie. She advises him that if he can't be good, be careful. He says it's none of her business. Emily's sister, Joan Corrie, tells her that their father has had a stroke and might not walk again. She asks what they're going to do about it.

Notes[]
- The scene of Kenneth Barlow and Jackie Marsh at the monument was videotaped on location. The monument in the scene still exists today and is located at the intersection of Manchester Road and Manchester Old Road in Bury, albeit without the centrepiece of Cupid. As the scene continues, Ken and Jackie walk past some buildings, revealing Bury Town Hall in the distance, with its Clock Tower visible in the foreground.
