Robin tires of having to ask for permission before buying essential items, Mr. Nicholls laughs at the idea of being bought out by his son-in-law, and Vicky's furious when she finds a snack bar parked outside of the bistro.

Mr. Nicholls announces that the new woman in his life is an estate agent, Gertrude hands in her notice to avoid working for a man living in sin, and Vicky persuades Robin to talk to Albert about popping the big question.
