Blanche tells Deirdre that Archie has finished with her. She sobs her heart out. Rita offers Sally two weeks' work at The Kabin filling in for Norris while he's at the Commonwealth Games. Sally jumps at the chance, telling her it's the answer to all her prayers. Audrey realises that her working for Archie hasn't affected her business at the salon. Richard tells Rita and Audrey that he's helping Nick out with his airfare. Deirdre tells Archie how upset Blanche is at their splitting up but he won't change his mind. Deirdre and Ken leave for London to see Tracy. Betty visits again. She says she's sold her house. Kevin plans a birthday surprise for the following day for Sally. Rita tells Richard she'd like some financial advice regarding her savings. Doreen finally admits to Maxine and Ashley that she's left Derek and doesn't want to go back. Blanche talks to Betty about feeling old. Betty admits to Blanche that she hasn't any friends in Wimbledon as she spends most of the time on her own. Peter and Shelley phone Blanche. Thinking it's Archie, she rushes to answer the telephone and trips, falls down the stairs and bangs her head. Fred feels that Lillian Spencer and her family are taking over, however he needn't worry as Lillian gets a phone call from Roger Fairbanks offering her a better job at his coaching inn in Marple. Lillian and her children pack up and leave the Rovers.
