Florrie decides that she's keeping her hat and is going to wear it for the wedding. Ena delights in informing her that the event's off and exaggerates the row that took place between Harry and Concepta. She also tells her that a new supermarket is opening in Rosamund Street in two weeks and it's going to kill her trade. Jean thinks the man that Dennis is bringing to the Palais De Danse is one of the Orinoco Club entertainers. Concepta thinks Harry will have forgotten their row but Annie says he will be sulking and should apologise to her. Lucille calls to see her bridesmaid's dress and tells them that her father has been in a bad mood all day. Harry calls to find his daughter and is cold with his intended. Annie is amused at the way that the bush telegraph has exaggerated the story. Albert, Ken and Valerie get Nancy settled into her bungalow. Mrs Brown invites her to watch her television with her. Jed thinks the other girl being brought along is a stripper from the club and he isn't pleased to see that it's Jean when she and Christine arrive, although she thinks he's lovely. Dennis worries that they only have 23/6 between him and Jed and the entrance fee is £1 for the four of them.
