Plot
Edit
Emily sees Ena at the hospital and worries that something is wrong. Mike brings in blacklegs to make the orders up. Steve urges him to talk to Ivy and negotiate. Ena tells Emily she's having back trouble. Fred shelves the idea of his own pub and finishes with Alma Walsh. Ray is working so hard on the hotel job that he forgets his wedding anniversary. Ivy demands Hilda takes her turn on the picket. Emily worries about Ena's back and asks Eddie to try to help her. Ena tells Eddie her bed is causing her back trouble. Hilda leaves the picket line to go to work at the Abattoir. Mike brings the black legs in. Muriel Clough tries to stop them but fails. The pickets smash the van up and break a window demanding that the black legs leave.
