Plot

Emily is upset that Miklos is moving on and the way that she found out the news. He asks to see her later on to talk. Dennis is upset that no one has remembered his birthday. Jenny decides it's time she got a job. Mrs Margaret Clegg looks over the Corner Shop after seeing the advert in the Gazette and tells David it's exactly what she's looking for. She says she'll return with her husband. Miklos tells Jerry he'll be gone in three weeks' time. Elsie tells Len she doesn't want to be bitchy with Jenny but can't help herself as she feels too much like her. He tells her she's being too possessive. Mrs Clegg brings her husband, Les, to the shop. David thinks he's not as impressed as his wife. Miklos asks Emily to go on holiday to Scotland with him. David refuses to drop the asking price and tells them Emily will be leaving the flat when they sell up as the Cleggs want it for their son, Gordon. Miklos promises Emily he will not make any demands on her and she agrees to go with him. Jenny gets a job as a demonstrator at Ashworths selling kitchen equipment. Elsie buys her a drink. David is nervous about what the Clegg's decision will be. Emily packs for her holiday. Minnie gets a letter from Ena saying she wants to come back and move into one of the maisonettes. She asks Len to make enquiries for her. The Cleggs decide to buy the shop, delighting David but saddening Irma. Les realises it's a fresh start and it's up to him to make it work.
