Derek worries about his performance review at work. Percy and Randy move into Curly's house as the builders start work on No.3. Gail apologises to Don for shouting at him. He tells her that he doesn't want them to fall out over Ivy's will. Nick tells Melanie Hesketh that he doesn't want the house if it's going to cause problems between him and Don. Mavis is thrilled when Des tells her that he's found a nice couple to buy his house. Jack and Vera view No.6 with a view to buying it. Mike is astonished when Jim tells him that he's having a vasectomy. Jim is embarrassed when Mike spreads the word, thinking Jim's an idiot. Curly is touched when Percy cooks for him. Emily is put out to see them getting on so well and that she now has no one with whom to have a drink or eat a meal. Maxine sends Des a card making it clear she fancies him. Don is upset when Josie refuses to move in with him as planned and suggests that he moves into her house instead so Nick can have the house. Don refuses as it would mean Ivy has won. Josie feels excluded as Don grows determined to break Ivy's will.
