Swindley and Emily set the date for 18th July. Dennis enrols in a hairdressing course at Gerald's Salon for £60. Swindley buys Emily an engagement ring for £25. Elsie agrees to give Dennis £15 so he can enrol on the course. She tells him that she's going to get a part-time evening job. Len agrees to be Swindley's best man. Val lets Dennis watch her in the Salon. Mr Papagopolous disapproves of the engagement. In Val's absence, Dennis experiments on Lucille's hair and dyes it straw blonde accidentally.
