Rita worries that Alan is drinking too much and asks him why he never brings Elsie to the club. Ena refuses to allow a disco at the community centre for Christmas and tells Ernie that Albert has lost the centre's decorations. Ken won't tell Albert who he's going out with for the night. Albert refuses to take responsibility for losing the decorations and threatens to resign when Ernie orders him to find them. Stan refuses to take on Alf's windows, telling him he's retiring due to the high levels of tax he pays. Billy, Jerry and Ray are disgusted with Stan's attitude when they realise how many jobs Hilda has on. Elsie agrees to go with Bet and Norma to the club with Ken. Ena allows Alf to put up a notice about him being a councillor, guessing that he's pushing for himself to be made mayor.
