Jack goes to work on the crossing and finds Brenda Kelly is already there in uniform. She says she'd heard that he was retiring. Jack goes to see Curly as his local councillor to try and sort it out. Later Curly tells Jack that he is indeed finished as when the council came to review his position he was in bookies. Vik and Steve buy champagne to celebrate Street Cars being a success. Jimmy tells Mike that the firework was just a warning. Les has noticed that Janice has been quiet with him. He suggests going to a friend's timeshare in Tenerife. It sleeps four; he invites Eileen and Dennis to join them. Dennis tries to put him off but Eileen says she's got the money so they can go. At the party, Stan Wagstaff sees Betty for the first time in ages but she doesn't remember him.
