She makes it clear that she wants to take their relationship further. Annie complains about the dirt in the Rovers to Miklos but he instantly wins her round by flattering her, saying that he thought the colour scheme was chosen by a professional decorator. Ena tells Minnie that Henry Foster has offered her lodgings again after she wrote to him. Myra tries to tempt Jerry into bed with her but he refuses in case things don't work out between them again.
