PlotEdit

Billy has thrown Fred out of the pub and sports a bruise but is pleased to have the pub to himself. Mavis arranges an engagement party and is horrified to discover Victor has been calling. Bill visits the cafe and is annoyed to see Dazz Isherwood eating there. He reminds Debbie that she's not to see him. Mavis panics that Derek and Victor may come face to face. Bill is furious to see Debbie riding with Dazz on his motorbike. Percy loses Randy the budgie when he flies out of his window. He fears the local pigeons will attack him and offers a two pound reward for his return. Victor hangs around outside The Kabin for a glimpse of Derek. Bill tells Debbie he doesn't like her lying to him and tells her she's not old enough to go out with Dazz; either she quits Dazz or she returns to school. Victor warns Mavis that she's falling into a trap in marrying Derek - she's obviously on the rebound from him. Mavis is furious at his cheek.
