Plot[]

Part One: Annie looks forward with glee to the result of Ena and Emily reading her letter. Dickie looks forward to being 20 next week. Annie is amused when Emily is late getting up, thinking she's hiding herself away, though she tells Jack she blames Ena for the incident. Jack has misgivings about starting again in Majorca. Emily tells Annie that they've decided not to read the letter, instead making one last appeal to her to see sense. She insists they read it. Elsie refuses to let Ray be her lodger and Maggie is cold towards him. Having put it off, Ena and Emily finally read the letter. Emily feels ashamed and argues with Ena who feels no guilt over the situation. Minnie tells Ernie that Ena wants the camera shop flat inspected for rats before she moves in. Len refuses Ken's suggestion that he calls off the deal to sell his van. Ken and Maggie wonder if Ena will brave the Rovers again. Ena makes her way across to the Rovers, but passes on down the street instead.


Part Two: Annie is delighted that Ena hasn't come in at dinnertime. Emily tells Annie that it's best for her to leave the Rovers. Annie agrees, stringing her along. Dickie invites Ray to lodge with them. To everyone's shock, and Annie's dismay, Ena frequents the pub with no trace of embarrassment. Lucille asks Annie if Ray can lodge at at the Rovers but is refused. Annie stops Emily from leaving by reminding her of the time that she's been a help and friend to them, blaming Ena for what happened. Len inspects the flat for defects. Ena refuses to move in unless they are fixed but Ernie calls her bluff by saying he can get another caretaker. Ray flirts with Audrey to Lucille's annoyance who tries to get him to lodge with Mrs Wrigglesworth on Rosamund Street instead, but he refuses saying he's quite happy where he is. Len tells Maggie that Newton & Ridley don't know that Ray swiped £10 from one of their hotel tills two years ago and he's not yet made up his mind to tell them. Jack and Annie decide to take the Majorca pub and they announce it to the regulars.
