Spider is hurt that Toyah thinks he's selling out. She spells out how much he's changed and that he no longer wants to change the world. Mike is puzzled why Linda hasn't invited her family to the wedding. She says she doesn't like them and they don't matter to her. Norris refuses to return to the Park Road B&B and offends Vera by criticising her cleanliness standards. Rita is quick to point out that he can't stay with her. Spider's interview with Mr Hallam goes well but when he is forced to deny benefits to single mother Lauren Green he snaps, standing on his desk and shouting about condemning the poor. He resigns.
