PlotEdit

Marcus Berlin and Sir Julius are in agreement and ask Edward Pollard for his resignation - they think more of Ken than him. Billy advises Betty to fight back at Megan and charge them backdated rent for using Maggie's furniture. She demands £3 a week - £72 in all. Granny threatens to throw the furniture onto the street. Ken is touched when Flo Broadbent and Ethel Fox buy him some cufflinks. He is shocked to hear Pollard has been sacked. Gordon tells Betty to sell the furniture. Bet agrees to have the settee and sideboard. Lucy and Vernon Foyle arrive at No.3 to be fostered.
