Part One: Stan is suspicious when Hilda treats him to a full English breakfast and cleans his shoes for him. Hilda can't find her scarf and realises she left it in George's shed. Annie takes to her bed again because of Lucille. Jack feels that Lucille has to decide to come back herself. Jenny Sutton has spent the night at No.11 with her sister and tells Dennis she thinks the hippies are crazy. Dennis and Jenny learn about each other as they clean up the mess in the house. Hilda goes back to Oakenshaw Park for her scarf. Jerry's divorce case is heard in court. He goes through all of his and Myra's marriage and financial difficulties which led to him leaving her on 17th October 1964. Having followed Hilda home from the park to find out where she lives, Agnes Greenwood calls on Stan when the coast is clear and tells him that Hilda is seeing George. She produces the scarf as evidence. A saddened Jerry is granted his decree nisi.

Part Two: Agnes tells Stan that George always strikes up friendships in the winter. It's quite harmless. She tells him that George always feels guilty and treats her well, and that Stan should make the most of Hilda spoiling him as well. Stan relishes the thought, and they agree to keep in touch to make sure their respective halves don't stray further. Jenny tells Dennis about her life in London and he tells her that the North isn't all mills and dirt. Len tries to cheer up a morose Jerry. Lucille asks after Annie at the Rovers and feels guilty when she hears that she's ill in bed, but refuses to go upstairs and see her. Stan enjoys Hilda waiting on him. The hippies decide to move on. Jenny prepares to go back to London as the hippy lifestyle isn't for her. Dennis asks her to stay, and he'll get her a job at the hotel he works at. Lucille is torn as whether to join the hippies or stay in the street.
