Nick is preoccupied thinking about the situation with Elsa and asks Frank if he can leave work early. Rachel and Michael can only just about afford a half of lager between them. She wants to know when he is going to come and visit her in Leeds, but he does not seem keen on the idea. Elsa receives a telephone call from Allders store in Leeds asking her to start work next week for the pre-Christmas rush. She accepts the offer, but does not tell Nick straight away.
