The holiday week continues... Zammo comes round to the Arcade where Roland works on the cadge for £50 and persuades him to lend him money from the machines. Julia Glover tells her bossy dad that she's going to stay with Laura's dad, when in fact she's got an all-night party lined up. Laura frets about lying to her mother. Back at the arcade, when Zammo does turn up, some of the money's missing. Zammo disappears into the Arcade's back room. Meanwhile, Julia and Laura have difficulty finding the right place, and Julia's dad has grown suspicious so calls round to see Laura's mother. When the girls find the right house, the party is a huge disappointment, and they leave. They return home to an angry Mr. Glover, and distressed Mrs. Reagan - and Julia locks herself in Laura's bathroom. Back at the arcade, Roland's about to leave when he realizes that Zammo has not come out of the back room. Zammo is in there - slumped on the ground, his eyes glazed, and the truth of his drug habit now apparent...
