Mike cannot believe what Vicky is saying, and Susan takes Neil's breath away.
Susan nervously shows Neil her bold new hairdo. He's rather taken aback but just about manages to cover his shock He reassures Susan it's lovely - just a bit different. Susan's making an effort for Jennifer's kitchen warming party.
Susan gossips about Loxfest. Apparently Roy and Elizabeth have booked a real thug as their headliner.
Mike and Vicky discuss his possible retirement. She can see the benefits and he'll still have plenty to keep him busy with Bethany. Susan shows off her new hairstyle to Vicky, mentioning that Neil's very taken with it.
Vicky shocks Mike by saying she thinks they should leave Ambridge and find a school for Bethany in Birmingham. It seems the best thing for the family.
