The Hewitts prepare a house-warming party. Elsie misses Bill now he's in London. Concepta invites Minnie and Martha to the party via Ena, but Ena refuses to convey the message as she isn't speaking to them. Harry rows with Concepta over her wish to return to the Rovers permanently. Minnie and Martha are fetched to the party to join Ena, Len, Albert, Elsie, Florrie, Dennis and Annie. The Hewitts put on a brave face to cover their row.
