Albert reminisces that it's fifty years since the Battle of the Lys but neither Dennis or Minnie are interested. Maggie introduces Elsie to her son Gordon, who is an accounts' clerk. Albert complains that no one cares about the war but Ken cheers him up when he tells him that he has a book on the battle he can borrow. Minnie makes Elsie see Jenny is quite nice. Elsie worries that she isn't liked. Gordon gets annoyed when Les interrupts his studies and shows little respect for him. Dennis thinks he and Jenny should buy a flat. Elsie calls at No. 5 and tries to talk to Jenny. Gordon refuses to go to the pictures with Les or forgive him for beating Maggie up when he was drunk. Les tries to explain his actions but without success. Elsie and Jenny apologise to each other and start to get on. Al
