He isn't very keen. Cheryl Crossley shows Mike some of her sketches and designs. He is impressed. Jenny dresses up, hoping Martin will like her. He feels uncomfortable. She asks him to take her out but he feels she's too young. Her feelings are hurt. Alec calls on Bet late at night and gives her a gold lighter as a token of his affection. He thanks her for being a pal. She is puzzled by the gesture.
