PlotEdit

The Mayor opens the Community Centre, dedicating it to the memory of Alderman Thomas Walsh. Irma gets her earring back from the chauffer. Emily gets time off from the warehouse for the opening but forgets to order the food for the reception afterwards and the residents have to quickly make sandwiches. The Mayoress thinks Irma is the Mayor's mistress after getting the wrong impression as to why her earring was in the Rolls. Billy is afraid that the story of his trip in the car will get out and his Town Hall contract will be terminated. Stan tells Len and Ray he wants what he's entitled to as a working man - industrial relations. Amused, they agree to discuss the matter with him.
