Ray gets annoyed at comments made at him by Betty. Hilda tells Stan she's no longer ashamed of him and thinks Ray could have picked up the money from the sideboard when he called into No.13. Stan worries that he couldn't convince anyone of that story with his "honest" face. Ken thinks Ray's putting on an act and he'll pay up at the last moment but Elsie disagrees and threatens trouble. Betty rings Annie about the problems in the Rovers but she's not interested. Betty thinks it might be right that she's not be coming back. Elsie tries to stir Alan into action over the money but he's not bothered. Ray impatiently waits for the papers to see how much his winnings are, anticipating £50,000. Jerry warns him he'll lose everyone's friendship.
