Plot[]
Josie lays on food for the funeral, hoping to keep in the background but Don refuses to be ashamed of her. Emily is annoyed to find a huge damp patch in Percy's room. She thinks he should have alerted her to it sooner. Ida Clough arrives for the funeral and reminisces about Ivy with Vera. They think it terrible that Don has taken up with Josie. Nick agrees with Gail and Martin not to mention anything about Ivy's letter. Don, the Duckworths, Ken, Rita, Curly, Maureen, Alf, Ida, Emily, Percy and the Platts attend Ivy's burial. Jim decides that he's too old to play football but Des agrees to stay with the team in the hope he'll get fitter by training. At the funeral tea Vera snaps and tells Josie she shouldn't be in Ivy's house. Josie is shocked by the outburst. Martin agrees to replace Jim on the five-a-side team. When Don stops Nick from drinking alcohol in No.5, Nick tells him that he can't stop him - it's his house now.
