Mrs Baxter tells Meg that it must be difficult for her to see Sandy disabled.  Meg says when it forst happened she only made things worse by nagging and worrying too much.  She says it's best to let children go their own way.  "He'll take good care of her.  He'll make her a good husband," says Meg.

 

Stan telephones Meg from the airport and tells her that he has Jill and Sarah Jane with him.  Meg is naturally delighted that they have worked things out.

Mr Baxter goes to the office to rejoin Meg and his wife but finds David Hunter there instead.  David takes a phone call from the garage to say that Sandy's car is ready.  "He drives a car does he?" asks Mr Baxter.  "There's not much he can't do," says David. 

 

Sharon Metcalfe checks some letters which Stan has signed and finds some which he has forgotten to sign.  "Can't I sign them pp Stan Harvey," suggests Jim Baines.  "Not this one you can't," says Sharon, and shows him the letter Stan has written to Dudley Scrivens recommending Jim for the acting managers job.  "Well that's it then," says Jim. 

 

Jim Baines goes home and asks Muriel what's wrong.  Muriel tells him that she is frightened of going out of the flat.  "You've got to help me Jim 'cause I think I'm going out of my mind," sobs Muriel.  She explains that when she saw the children next door hurting Deena she couldn't go out and stop them.
