Plot[]
Annie tries to keep her meals solitary but Eunice feels that she needs company. Ken and Deirdre look at houses. Colin Jackson apologises to Gail and asks her not to tell Sue. She agrees. Eddie considers advertising for a lady companion. Sue invites the Tilsleys on a caravanning weekend. Gail isn't keen and tells Brian about Colin's pass. Brian wants to thump Colin but Gail thinks it would be a bad idea. Ken and Deirdre find a house in Meadow Bottoms, five miles out. Deirdre tells Beattie they will not be taking Albert with them. She tells Beattie that Ken has been doing her duty for years. Beattie refuses to have Albert with her. The Tilsleys tell the Jacksons that they can't go away for the weekend. Brian tells Colin to keep away from them. Eunice lays on a special tea for Annie. Albert realises no one wants him and has a quiet weep.
