A contented Annie flies back from Majorca with Douglas Cresswell of Newton & Ridley. Back at the Rovers, Jack rages how someone can break up a thirty-year old marriage. Ken returns from Glasgow, having left Val and the twins up there for a while. He advises Len to phone Elsie. He does so and hears from Sheila that Elsie has left but she doesn't know where she's gone. Ena refuses Ernie's request that he photographs her. Elsie returns to the street and hears from Ken that Len thinks she has a fella. Hilda is put out to hear that Betty knew of Elsie's return before she did. Ray delays telling Len about the possible brewery deal, wanting to keep it for himself. To stop Hilda annoying Jack with tactless remarks, Ena and Emily tell her that Annie has a fancy man, but to keep it quiet. Lucille tells Len that Elsie is back. Jack goes to the airport as the plane descends into Manchester.
