Fred has a rented room in Trafalgar Street and looks for a job. Derek accuses Victor of hounding Mavis. Victor tells him that he's the wrong man for Mavis; he's never probed her soul. He urges Derek to let Mavis's soul fly free. Dazz Isherwood invites Debbie to a party. When Dazz calls Bill a nutter, Kevin warns him off. Fred discovers that Billy has had his name blackened at the brewery and no pub will employ him. He goes for Billy and is barred. Victor refuses to believe that Mavis is going to marry Derek unless he hears it from her. Mike is sick of seeing Billy laying into Fred and gives him an interview.
