Lucille and Lorraine Binks ask Ernie to do their publicity photos. Emily tells Ernie she feels they ought to turn down such business. The girls refer Ernie to their agent, Ray. Billy gives Alan £112.20, his share of the profits, and tells him that if he can come up with £2,500 the garage it's his, even though the buyer has offered £2,750. Alan asks for 48 hours, even though he doesn't know where he's going to get the funds. Elsie asks Maggie if she's heard anything about the garage and is told about the sale and Alan's redundancy. Len sympathises with Alan's predicament and blames Billy but he can't help him financially. Alan refuses to ask Dave Smith for financial help.
