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 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.
