Tanya starts at the Rovers and hints to Bet that Liz used to bitch about her. Maureen resigns from Bettabuy, sick of Reg and Curly. Jack tries to chat Tanya up, telling her that he's in show business. Audrey spends her day hiding from Alf. She admits to Gail that she's been fired for bad timekeeping. Maureen apologises to Curly for her behaviour. He talks the situation through with her, them both drinking red wine.
