They talk about Charlene's employment and Madge says she'll have to think of something other than being a mechanic. Charlene says she's exhausted all her options and has applied to go on the dole. Madge isn't overjoyed about it, but she does understand how hard Charlene has tried to get a job.

Jim and Jane are having a chat in the living room. They talk about Jane's parents, who don't want to know her. Jim says that Mrs Mangel does care for her very much, even if she has a strange way of showing it. Jane says Mrs Mangel can't seem to accept that she's all grown up now. She doesn't want to go home, but Jim suggests at least talking it over with Mrs Mangel. Jane agrees.

JANE: Thank you, Mr Robinson. I wish I had a father like you!

No.32 (Later)

Jane is telling Mrs Mangel that she wants to come and go as she pleases within reason - after all, she is an adult now. Mrs Mangel isn't too keen and makes disparaging remarks about the Robinsons. Jane tells her off and says she has to get on with the neighbours from now on. Mrs Mangel agrees she'll try not to interfere in Jane's life - but she does feel responsible for Jane.

MRS MANGEL: You couldn't mean more to me that if you were my own daughter.
JANE: And I couldn't love you any more than I do now, Nan. I really missed you, you know?

They hug.

Madge and Harold are still having an awkward conversation. Harold finally gets to the point and says he has something very important to say to Madge. He says that Jane has made things up with Mrs Mangel, and now he wants to do the same with Madge.

HAROLD: I've been very hard on you, Madge, and I'd like to apologise. Of course you've changed after all these years, I should have known to expect that.
MADGE: I'm sorry I was such a big disappointment.
HAROLD: But you're not! No...I just need time to adjust, that's all. I love you just the way you are, Madge. Can't we try again? I'm not talking about a marriage, not straight away. But you agreed to an engagement once before. Won't you again?
MADGE: If it's a long one, of course I will.

They hug.

HAROLD: I couldn't ask for more.

Charlene comes out and they tell her that their engagement is back on.

CHARLENE:(pleased) About time you two got your acts together!
