Annie refuses to eat. Billy has gone to London in an attempt to get Annie out of bed and behind the bar. She feels betrayed and turns on the waterworks when Lucille says she has to go to work. Ena, returned from being with the Lomaxes in Hartlepool, is getting tired of the mess that Dolores leaves behind. Bet has flu so the Rovers is short-handed. Betty is furious to hear that Billy has gone on the advice of Dr. Mitchell. Tommy tricks Dirty Dick into signing a form for Dolores. Annie has four sleeping tablets left. Lucille summons Dr. Mitchell who tells Annie that it's no good moping over her errors. She asks for more sleeping tablets and he writes a prescription. Tommy "announces" Dick's plan to sell Dolores to Weatherfield Slaughterhouse for £30 and shows the letter that Dick has signed as proof. Minnie starts the "Save Dolores Fund" to enable Tommy to buy Dolores off Dick but Maggie, still upset about Alf, refuses to allow a collection box in the corner shop.
