As Rosie and Sophie clean the kebab shop windows, the builders working nearby watch admiringly. When Norris suggests Rosie’s modelling career must have taken a nose dive if she’s reduced to cleaning windows, it touches a nerve with Sally, who calls at No.13 and tears a strip off Kevin and Anna for making the girls clean windows for a living. Anna sees red and points out that ‘Darling Rosie’ is actually a drugs mule. Sally’s stunned.
In the café, Gail discovers her purse missing from her handbag. She immediately accuses Shona of stealing it and David backs her up.

Sally’s shocked when Rosie bursts into tears, admitting her whole career is in tatters but she’s been pretending to live the high life to avoid Sally’s judgement.

So when one of the builders, Zack, throws a flirty comment at Rosie, Sally threatens to report him for sexual harassment.
Roy returns to the café to find Gail and Shona in a stand-off. Shona grudgingly opens her handbag. Finding no sign of her purse but refusing to back down, Gail announces she’s boycotting the café. At No.8, David finds Gail’s purse under one of Lily’s toys. Gail reluctantly agrees to apologise to Shona but she’s unimpressed by Gail’s half-hearted apology.
