Mavis gets embarrassed when Rita teases her about Jerry. Hilda asks in The Kabin for a pattern for a ballroom dress. Mavis suggests she designs her own and Hilda is taken with the idea. Rita tells Len that she and Mavis will do the early morning papers each day, bar Sunday, if they get a pay rise. Glyn confirms to Bet that there is a possibility that Annie will give up the Rovers and he might take over. Lucille writes to Annie about how Glyn upset Minnie. He asks Lucille to apologise to Minnie on his behalf and to call in for a drink on the house. Hilda draws up her own design. She wants a tailor's dummy to make it with but Stan is appalled at the £4 price. She gives him the money to get a postal order to send off for one. Jerry gets annoyed again at the state of No.9 and that he can't get the house to himself to bring Mavis round that Saturday night.
