With Pamela considering packing her job in, and Malcolm and Terry facing redundancy, Brenda will have to do some quick thinking in order to save her livelihood.

Pamela is getting very depressed, and Brenda and Malcolm decide she needs taking out of herself.

With his mother out of the way for a few days, Malcolm invites Brenda to stay.

There are momentous changes in the offing for Malcolm as he prepares to start up his own motorbike repair business, and finally unties himself from his mother's apron strings by leaving home.

Having split up with Brenda and moved back in with his mother, Malcolm is unhappy in his new job with Mod Shops. So Terry decides to cheer him up.

Pamela returns from spending the weekend in London with David, Malcolm panics after nearly inviting the wrong person out to dinner, and Brenda doesn't take kindly to being treated like riff-raff on her birthday.

Fed up with the constant interruptions into his meetings with Pam, David decides to do something about Brenda.
