Fiona rushes for Ken but Denise shrugs the faint off. She tells them that she doesn't want any fuss. Maureen is fed up when Reg keeps going to the cash and carry. Lester talks Vera into staying on in Blackpool for a few more days. Ken tells Denise that he's willing to rent No.12 but wants her opinion, assuring her that he's not expecting her to join him. Mike is jealous of Steve's flash car and ready money. Reg is thrilled when Ken agrees to rent No.12. Vera is put out when Jack doesn't seem to mind if she's away for another week.
