Robinsons
Harold is answering some 'Dear Georgette' letters and is oblivious to Madge rambling on about how harmonious the Robinsons living arrangements are. She tells him she wonders how he will fit in when he moves in with her. He tells her there will be no problems so long as there are no animals and strictly vegetarian meals!

Helen and Beverly arrive home and tells Harold and Madge about the factory fire.

Henry is persuading Sally to let him be her new flatmate. However she wants a flat mate not a live in boyfriend. Sally leaves and Henry assures her he has not given up yet.

Mrs Mangels
Harold has told Jane and Mrs Mangel about the fire. He then settles down at the typewriter to do some more 'Dear Georgette' work. Mrs Mangel asks him to make her some tea. Whilst he is in the kitchen she sneaks a peak at his files and is shocked to find out that Harold is 'Dear Georgette'. Harold catches her snooping and asks he what she is doing.

Mrs Mangel: Good gracious. What is all this poppycock?!
Harold is angry that Mrs Mangel went through his files; he feels he has no privacy. He tells her how important it is that 'Georgette' is anonymous. He tells her that Madge, Charlene and Henry already know it's him and it's only a matter of time before the rest of the street find out. Mrs Mangel wonders what qualifications Harold has and he tells her he has life experience.

Madge is sure that Harold seeing her dress is bad luck. She reminds him what happened to Eileen and Malcolm after the bride and groom fell off their wedding cake. Henry is sure it isn't bad luck.

Charlene's upset because she doesn't know what will happen to her apprenticeship now Tony has gone. She is sure she is jinxed. Madge wants her to go shopping with her for a new wedding dress. Scott is still suspicious of Ross and thinks there may be more to the fire then they think.

Henry: 'Where there's smoke there's.......
