He says that he's returning it to Kevin. Jim prepares for Steve's home visit. Sally stays in Scarborough to look after Elsie Seddon after her stroke so Kevin returns home alone. Andy decides to give up University even though he's only got a few months to go.

Audrey enjoys herself at the cafe, flirting with lorry driver Ron Harris. Judy tells Gary she thinks they may need help in conceiving a baby. He agrees that they should see a doctor. Derek is concerned when Norris employs a new young salesman at Hawthornes. He decides to rise to the challenge and prove he is the best salesman.
