Deirdre is off with Rita when she calls into The Kabin. Rita asks Len for a chat that night in her flat and asks him round for 7.00pm. Deirdre won't let Ray touch her. She confesses to a headache and he tells her to call in sick at the yard but otherwise can't get through to her. Bet calls but she refuses to go out with her to town. Once she's gone though, she nips out herself. Rita speaks to someone on the phone who's eager for her to do something quickly. Bet knocks at Carlos's flat and finds a new occupant - Tom Russell, who's got the room as Carlos has gone back to Spain. Ray comes home for his dinner and finds Deirdre gone. Len calls and sees that something is wrong with him.
