Raquel has been offered the chance to get her acting career off the ground by auditioning for the part of Rosalind in Shakespeare's As You Like It, and Del Boy is backing her all the way.
Meanwhile, Del, knowing that Rodney has not spoken to Cassandra since she got back from her holiday, goes round to see her, as well as to fix the door to their flat.
Back at the Nag's Head, a drunken 38-year-old peroxide blonde woman, who wants a taxi to Battersea, throws herself all over Del, who barely remembers her as Trudy, a former fiancée of his.
Rodney enters to tell Del the good news about his date with Cassandra and mentions that he saw Raquel and Albert getting off a bus outside the pub.
As Raquel continues her rehearsal in the bedroom, Del admits that he did not know Cassandra would see Rodney with Trudy.
Albert then tells yet another war story about a chief communications officer on board, "Tubby" Fox, who was a real party animal who got in trouble for bringing a Maltese girl onto the ship.
The next day, at Parry Print Ltd, Rodney enters Alan's office and leaves an envelope on his desk.
Del is furious at Rodney's immaturity, and tells him he now has no wife, no home, and no job (even though he and Albert are responsible for this).
Much later that night, Raquel glumly tells Del that the Shakespeare play is a tour around schools, and that she turned it down because she is pregnant.
