MADGE: NO!!!

When everyone has gone, Jim reads between the lines that the evening was a disaster. Helen says that Clive's latest crackpot scheme backfired - she was supposed to go out with Dan and act like a shrew so he'd go back to Edna. But apparently Dan said that he "liked a woman with spirit" - her!

Ramsays
Edna tells Clive and Madge that she doesn't want Dan back - it's as simple as that. She says she's suppose to be in her golden era, but instead, Dan doesn't want to have any fun. She allows that they were very happy before though - Dan used to bring her flowers every day and take her out for tea on Sundays. Clive persuades her to give Dan a taste of his own medicine and Edna get interested in the idea. Clive suggests she goes out to dinner with a distinguished gentleman over 60, but can't think who. Edna says the gentleman doesn't have to be over 60 and suggests Clive himself!

Clive is rather takenaback and Madge is horrified.

EDNA: You're a doctor, aren't you?
CLIVE: Yes...but very rough!

Dan calls Clive a gigolo and storms off.

Robinsons

Mangels
Mrs Mangel is dusting when a letter is slipped under the door. There's noone in sight, but she picks up the letter and reads it. Her face registers complete shock.

MRS MANGEL: Len! Len! I've just received the most disgusting letter! It's about that Mike Young! Oh, something will have to be done about him. I think I should contact the police!
