Dave Smith refuses to give Lucille a rise. Unknown to anyone, two thugs plan to nick the betting shop's takings when Lucille and a heavy called Norman go to the bank. Irma is convalescing in Llandudno. Hilda argues with Betty when Betty insinuates Irma is ashamed of her parents. Lucille goes to the bank on her own and is mugged of all the takings while walking down Back Marriot Street. She is taken to the Infirmary with bruises, shock and slight concussion. Dave is horrified that £435 was taken. Helen Ormerod tells the Ogdens that Janet didn't visit her.
