Emily promises to help Brenda Summers start a new life. Len tells Rita he may have to sell The Kabin. Emily is horrified when John Summers pushes his way into the house looking for Brenda. He accuses Emily of coming between him and his wife. Len decides he's going to hang on to The Kabin. The bank agrees to the yard paying back the loan £60 a week for two years. He tells the Langtons they've got to find their £30 share. Rita calls Len a hypocrite when he asks her to start singing at the Gatsby Club again to help financially. She refuses to be used.
