Mrs Vizzard is astonished to discover that her new lodger Mr Squales is the clairvoyant Professor Corlito. But she is outraged when she learns that Connie Coke is in jail and decides to take the chance to evict her from her flat - which proves easier said than done. Doris Josser is still determined to move into a flat of her own, despite her mother's objections, so pal Doreen Smyth decides to speak on her behalf at a meeting at Jossers flat that develops into a wider audience than they intended. This is partly due to Percy, who has become attracted to Doris after meeting her at the cinema, despite having a girlfriend in Edith Watson, who works there. But after learning that Edith is married from Jack Rufus, and disgruntled at Jack for cutting the money for the resprays, Percy decides to break from both and go it alone. But his attempt to go into the car theft business goes tragically wrong.
