Unbeknownst to Ailsa, at Celia’s place Roo and Alf have reunited. Roo tells Alf that the last person she wanted to hurt was him and so all the lying was merely to protect him and make him look respectable. However it all blew up in her face. Lance and Martin are still at the shop waiting for Alf and Ailsa to have their blew when she receives a phone call saying everyone has just worked out fine and tells the boys World War 3 has been called off.

That night Bobby, Lance and Martin are talking about Ailsa getting Roo and Alf back together.

At the shop Carly is buying the tickets. Ailsa suggest she puts them in both Lance and her names as she once gave away a ticket that one ten grand, but Carly says no. She’s sure that this will end with a profit for her. Alf arrives and says he’s just spoken to Morag and there’s “more trouble”.
