Albert gets Emily and Minnie to pack for his two-week holiday in Llandudno. Upon hearing that he has to share a room with Cyril Fairhurst, Albert decides he's not going and tears up his ticket. Jerry gets in touch with Dobbs and Swales to pursue a contract to convert an old house. Elsie tells Alan that being in hospital has made her realise how lucky she is. Bob Fawcett, contract manager for Dobbs and Swales, turns up at Fairclough and Langton while Deirdre is in sole occupancy. He's annoyed that Deirdre is preoccupied with finding her missing contact lens on the office floor but after a chat and some cheese sandwiches he gets a torch from his car to help her look, successfully locating the lens.
