Harold arrives and tells Madge he is going to give her the opportunity to apologise. Madge threatens him with the iron she is holding which doesn't surprise Harold who declares she has a violent temper.

Beverly admits that whilst she never wanted children when they got together she now does, and didn't think Jim would stand in her way.
