PlotEdit

The employees at Bettabuys react to the news that Curly is in charge. Brendan Scott talks to Vera about Rita's connection in the fix. Curly refuses Kimberley's transfer. He tells her that she can resign if she wants a change that much. Raquel makes it clear that she's interested in Curly. Alma, calling herself "Mrs Halliwell", makes arrangements with Mr Simpson, the estate agent, to view Jackie's house. Brendan interviews Rita about the trolley race. She refuses to talk to him. Alma tortures herself by looking round the house. Jackie later discovers that the duvet has been cut and slashed.
