Plot[]
Mike grows annoyed as Bet treats No.5 like a tip. Deirdre and Ray clash over the baby's name. Blanche wants her to be called 'Maureen'. Mike is furious when Bet hires Hilda as a cleaner to sort No.5 out. He tells her she is the housekeeper and should do the work herself. Emily walks out of the Rovers when she sees Ernie drinking with Thelma James. Ray registers the baby 'Tracy Lynette' behind Deirdre's back and the two of them row over it with Deirdre accusing him of being sly. Blanche's boyfriend, Steve Bassett, arrives and Blanche shows him off. Mike asks Bet to lay on a dinner party for a client and to get a woman for him. Blanche tells Deirdre that she only works for Dave Smith; they've split up. Emily warns Ernie that Thelma is after him. Bet is annoyed when she thinks Mike thinks she's a bit tarty. In revenge she asks Betty to join the dinner party.
