Deirdre hides away at the flat, embarrassed about her false alarm. The dance at the Community Centre takes place. Marie sets out to steal Mike from Bet. Emily and Ernest spend the evening apart after a row.
Albert receives a parcel of chocolates. He tells Ken it's his third; he's been buying bars from The Kabin and complaining to the manufacturers about them. Hilda is too hung-over to work. Stanley Fairclough and Liz Brocklebank arrive to see Len. Len and Stanley don't know what to say to each other. Albert asks Rita for any old stock and sends it back. Liz is keen to mend the rift between Stanley and Len. Len is put out when he finds Stanley has already booked a hotel and refuses to stop over at No.9. Liz asks Len to attend their wedding on 4th April. Stanley tells her he doesn't want him there.—A. Nonny Mouse
