Mavis makes Sunday lunch for Derek. Annie discovers £45 is missing - she is certain it's been stolen from her sewing basket. Mavis hears that Auntie Edie has had an attack. Mavis blames herself for not being with her. She fears going back to look after her as she'll never escape. Annie refuses to go to the police over the money. Mavis asks her cousin Ethel Platt to look after Auntie Edie but she refuses. Stan feels sick from all the homemade beer.
