Plot
Jack tries to get out of attending Amy Burton's funeral. Scotch Tommy turns out to be someone who fits out premises for Phil. The residents react when they discover that Phil has taken over the new factory unit for PJ Leisure. They fear that he's opening an amusement arcade. Phil tells Deirdre the factory will be a repair and storage shop for the machines. Percy follows Emily to the hospital. He refuses to believe she is not ill. She gives in and tells him that she's going to open a charity shop for the hospital at No.2 but she was keeping matters quiet as she was trying to arrange a cheap lease with Maurice Jones. Jenny tells Rita that Robert Weston is installing her in a flat of her own. Reg meets his wife Veronica from the airport. She shocks him by demanding to be taken to see Rita.
