PlotEdit

Ena refuses to let the thugs vandalise the Vestry. They tell her she can go but refuse to let Lucille go, planning to have "some fun" with her. Ruth arrives and the thugs lock the door behind her. When they hold her she hits them and gives one a nose bleed. They scuttle off. Elsie promises Wally won't have to sleep on the sofa for much longer. She calls on Arnold Tanner and discovers his shop has large living quarters. She dumps Wally on him and tells him if he doesn't take him in he'll go to a home. Jerry tells Sheila he realises she doesn't want a permanent relationship with him. Two thugs, Sid and Geordie try to track Dennis down.
