Gordon arrives to stay with Betty. She questions him about his life in London. He tells her the reason he's here is to audit the shop as it's the end of the financial year. Betty tells him it's doing well but she won't tell the girls he's coming. Tricia pushes Keith to pay some of the money he owes. Hilda buys dog food to enter a competition to win a washing machine. She overhears that the girls have given tick. Rita discovers that Derek isn't married. The front of shop is a mess as the boys are entertained at lunch again in the back room. Derek and Mavis realise they have a lot in common. Keith avoids discussing money. Pete Dawson tells a puzzled Gordon the shop is shut for dinner and closes the door on him. Gordon bangs to be let in and Tricia realises what's going on.
