Rita is astounded that Maurice Dodds wants to paint Mavis in the nude. She advises Mavis to steer clear of him. Annie phones Billy and tells him that she's being held hostage in her own home. Mavis is upset when everyone thinks that Maurice is kinky. Annie tells Fred that Billy is returning and his room is being decorated so he'll have to have Fred's room. She tells Fred he must leave before Billy's return. Mike is annoyed to find the girls having a party for Lynn Watts. The girls win him round. Maurice wants to start painting Mavis but she puts him off. Elsie asks Mike for Lynn's job, even though it's on a machine. Eunice accuses Annie of putting them onto the street. She tells Fred that she's sick of the situation and is leaving.
