Plot[]

Part One: Audrey insists that Albert wears a clean shirt for when Alice calls, though he doesn't want her under "his" roof. Ray denigrates the small type of work that yard is now taking on. Len offers him a partnership. Ray turns him down as he's got higher ambitions. Effie accepts a free drink from Jack. Albert has to wear one of Dickie's old pullovers as Audrey is washing his own and he wants to escape No.3 and Alice. Jack allows him to hide in the Rovers when Len kids him on that his paramour is on his way over. Effie apologises to Val, saying her nerves have been on edge recently. Dickie is happy that Ena's idea to be rid of Albert is working out. Hilda sees Effie in the Rovers and loudly berates her for being behind with her window money. An embarrassed Effie escapes, as Hilda is taken to task by Jack, Albert and Val for her behaviour. Back at her flat, Effie checks her meagre change and considers pawning her watch.


Part Two: Albert is disgruntled when Alice finds her in the Rovers and suggests to him that they go out together. He escapes into the toilets. A chirpy Len returns from having had a successful meeting with the bank manager. Ray realises that Albert has disappeared through the gents' toilet window. A worried Jack visits Effie and tells her that she shouldn't be too sensitive about things Hilda says. She spots the watch and realises what she's up to. He dissuades her from pawning it. Albert packs and returns to Bury to escape Alice. She realises she's driven him away by being too forward. Hilda wants a new bath plug and Ray makes her pay for it. Val brings round to the yard a telegram for her which says David and Irma Barlow have had an 8lb baby boy. Audrey misses Albert. Len, Ray and Val bring Hilda to the Rovers to begin celebrating the news. Effie hears their laughter as she sits alone in her flat. Annie worries that Lucille is out late with Shirley Walton. Jack looks for her and Len rushes back to tell Annie that he has had an accident and is in hospital.
