Plot
Edit
Marion looks up all of Eddie's old friends in Liverpool but no one has seen him. Fred chats Elsie up in the hope she'll accompany him to the Community Centre dance. Len accuses Brian of leading Sharon on and dropping her. He tells Brian that he wants to thump him for driving Sharon away. Marion persuades a lorry driver to put out a call on his CB for "Slim Jim". A breaker comes on saying he spotted Eddie the previous day. Marion traces Eddie to his digs only to find he's moved as he has no money. Rita is close to tears as Sharon leaves for Sheffield. Len tries to control his emotions but fails. Marion is approached by a man who mistakes her for a prostitute. She tries to escape him. Eddie turns up, sees her plight and scares the man off.
