Stan tries to get out of his chains and Len refuses to saw him out. Hilda enjoys having Stan chained up. Roger meets Wendy at a restaurant where he tells her that he needs and wants her. He tells her she doesn't belong living in a slum with Ken. He gives her his front door key and asks her to return. Ena wins a glass goblet in the raffle. Renee finds Wally Fisher trapped in the ladies' toilet at the Rovers, drunk. He gives Len the keys to free Stan. Betty tells the girls to vacate the flat in a fortnight.
