She鈥檒l investigate and see what can be done.
At rehearsals, Berwick鈥檚 assertive with Lynda even questioning Leonard鈥檚 competency to build the set. Lynda defends Leonard until she discovers he鈥檚 only built the coach and none of the actual set. Frustrated Lynda loses her cool with Leonard.
Lilian discovers from Jean Harvey that Vince has told everyone that Berwick鈥檚 being paid. Mick thinks it might be because Vince overhead a joke Mick and Berwick had about how much it would take for Berwick to do the panto. Lilian thinks Vince used that misinformation to sabotage it.
