David and Meg are at the reception desk when Jill joins them and shows Meg her new hairstyle. Rosemary Hunter comes

Clive Merrow meets his mother Constance in the motel reception foyer. He says he feels he has been neglecting her.
Meg joins David in the sitting room and asks him if Rosemary is ever going to leave, and David says yes, eventually.
Meg says she has noticed that Rosemary has been paying him a lot of attention recently. David assures her
that everything Rosemary says doesn't mean anything. At that moment Rosemary struggles into the sitting room carrying
lots of bags. "I'm back darling," she says. "Oh hello Meg. Look what I've got," says Rosemary, searching
through one of the bags. She brings out a bag and hands it to David. "For you my darling," she says. "For
me. You shouldn't have," says David. "Well as soon as I saw them I could picture you in them. Well
aren't you going to see what it is," says Rosemary. David opens the bag and takes out a patterned article of clothing.
"Pyjamas," he says. "Hummm," coughs Meg and leaves quickly.
Constance Merrow tells Clive that she knows he is living with a girl. Clive says he is living in the same house

Clive goes to see Vera on her boat and asks her why she didn't him that Constance knew about Lisa. Vera says
he is too old to need protection from her, and Clive says Constance doesn't seem to think so. Constance Merrow
arrives at the boat and tells Clive to go and buy some beer from the off-licence. Clive leaves and Constance tells Vera
that Clive wouldn't talk about Lisa and told her it was none of her business. She says she has nothing against Lisa
but she is just worried about Clive. Vera suggests that Constance ask Clive and Lisa out to dinner so she can get to
know Lisa better.

David takes Rosemary into the sitting room and offers her a drink. He says he knows she is trying to edge her way
into buying shares in the motel. "You think I'm just being a harsh business woman don't you. It isn't only the
shares. I've been thinking about us for a long time," says Rosemary, moving closer to David. "Think about it David.
Would it really be such a bad idea?" she asks. She puts her arms around David's neck but David pulls away from
her. He says it's a nice idea but it wouldn't work. He says they're friends, and they'll go on being friends.
"But husband and wife, no," he says.
