The hinges on the grid are rusted on solid so Alphonse will chisel away at the surrounds and the grating will be winched up. To camouflage the action René will park his old ice cream van over the grating.

Meanwhile Helga has gone on a training course and her replacement, Elsa, takes an instant shine to Flick.
