Plot[]
Rita tells Mavis that Alan has left her. Someone changes Percy's painting so it reads "nosy parker". Emily orders him to get all the paint off the pavement. He refuses to believe anyone thinks of him as a nosy parker, believing it must mean Emily. He accuses Don of vandalising his notice but Don tells him that he's not bothered about what he writes. Jenny tells Alan that if he makes her choose between Rita and him, she'll choose Rita. Jack admits to Gloria that he changed Percy's sign. Alan returns for the rest of his things. Rita is distraught as she hoped he was going to return for good. She begs him to stay but he refuses and gives his keys back to her.
