Ken and Rita flirt across The Kabin counter and he agrees to see her in the Rovers at lunchtime. Elsie tells Rita they've had a postcard from Len. Maggie advises Norma to get things off her chest. Emily offers to put Albert's name into a draw for a free holiday in Wales. He grumpily agrees. She's also arranging a women's charity sponsored swimming contest in aid of the Weatherfield Darby and Joan Club and wonders if Jerry could get Mavis to take part. Norma watches with resentment as Ken and Rita chat in the Rovers. Minnie congratulates an uncomprehending Mavis on taking part in the swim. She's appalled when Jerry tells her he's entered her for the event. She cries and tells him to leave and never come back. He goes to Rovers and drowns his sorrows in a pint, telling Bet and Betty his troubles.
