Lizzie tells Judy and Doreen she has a plan to help Bea. Jim tells Mum he doesn't believe Bea and Mum gives him a good verbal thrashing. Since she is elderly and middle-class, Jim looks properly thrashed. Meg visits Nick's flat. His flatmates are running about in a state of undress and Nick is talking about picking goods up off the back of trucks. Meg is concerned about this enviroment. Out in the garden, Margo sees Jim bring Mum her pills. Lizzie pretends to be attacked by Bea. Bea tells Erica that Lizzie - "Or whatever her name is" - set her up.

Erica does not believe Lizzie's story, but tells her that Dr. Weissman is being sent for. Terry and Vera have an argument over Bea. Terry tries to change the subject, but Vera just snorts and walks away. Bea visits Dr. Weissman. Meg is called away from her social gathering to bail Nick out of jail. Mum leaves the rec room to get her pills, Margo has Lil follow her. Nick tells Meg that if she's so worried about him she should let him live with her. Mum returns to the rec room followed by Lil, who gives the bottle of pills to Margo. Lizzie tells the women she's responsible for Dr. Weissman being brought in. Bea tells her to leave her alone. Lizzie looks indignant. Dr. Weissman tells Erica that Bea is an amnesiac. He says that in her present condition there is a very good chance Bea could be released. Bea has a nightmare, Mum comforts her. Mum then discovers that her pills have gone missing. The next morning, Mum is not feeling well and tells Bea to go on to the showers without her.
