PlotEdit

Audrey pleads with Ivy not to tell Brian that Sarah is his child; Gail wants it kept a secret. Ken encourages Deirdre in her campaign, telling her that together they can beat Alf. Alf thinks Deirdre is wasting her time opposing him. Emily pledges to support Deirdre in the election and Deirdre fills in a nomination form. Ken proposes her and Emily seconds her. Bet tells Gloria that now she's got the tenancy she can't afford to take her on as barmaid. She is disappointed. Gail is furious when Audrey confesses that she told Ivy the truth. The Gazette tells Deirdre they want to interview her; there is a lot of interest in her as she is the only woman standing.
