During a home visit, Arthur asks Pauline if he can sleep back in the marital bed again and Michelle gives Arthur money to pay back two people's Christmas club money. Arthur chooses Dot and Ethel. Mary is overdue on her fine payments and she leaves Annie in the launderette alone and goes to the Vic. Debbie finds Annie and tells Mary that she will be reporting the abandonment the following day.


The phone rings in the Vic and Den ignores it. Simon is instructed by Den to answer it and tell the caller that he is out, so he does. Simon tells Den that it was Jan who phoned.
