Madge and Harold's
Charlene comes rushing in through the door asking Madge how work was while she hangs her bag up. Madge knows that Charlene called in sick as she saw Rob earlier so she came home early to check up on her, although she doesn't look sick apparently! Charlene says that she had headache, but Madge can't believe how casual she is being about her job all of a sudden. Madge asks her if she's getting on with Rob and Charlene says that she is and that it's 'none of her business' so she should get off her case. She decides to run off into her room, leading an angry Madge to sigh.

Beverly and Jim are in the kitchen preparing some food when Todd and Katie ask if they had television, cars, or fridge's in the 50s which Jim says they did. However, apparently they didn't get television until 1956, which shocks Todd and Katie into asking what they did with each other. Helen explains that they talked and listened to music. Beverly is only going to admit that she was barely alive in the 50s so Katie asks if Henry was alive then as well but Helen says that 'Henry missed out on the 50s, or the 50s missed out on Henry." Katie asks why he is playing guitar at 50s night, because he is a 'show-off', according to Jim. Todd says that he is only going to dress up if Jim dresses up, which Helen thinks is a wonderful idea. They all start reminiscing about the 50s and Jim agrees to dress up. Jim cracks some sort of 50s joke which Todd and Katie fail to understand.
