Letting the frustrations of the day get the better of him, Stephen trashes the factory floor and when Michael arrives to witness his meltdown, he wonders what’s going on.
As Elaine unpacks their new flat, Stephen once again suggests to Elaine that they should buy Carla’s share of the business. But Stephen is left masking his fury after Elaine tells him that she will never invest a penny in the factory and they should simply enjoy their retirement.
