Bing takes his first tentative steps as he attempts to overcome his gambling addiction.

Further details

Bing takes his first tentative steps towards recovery.

George's own problems appear to be getting worse but he keeps them to himself for fear of disrupting Bing's progress.

Bernadette begins to settle into her new life without Bing and is flattered by the attentions of an admirer.

Bing's endeavours to woo Bernadette back fall on deaf ears and he starts to question whether his attempts at recovery are worthwhile, in the absence of a possible reconciliation with her.

George reassures Bing that he owes it to himself and his son Joe to continue.

Encouraged by his Dad, Bing's recovery continues to grow from strength-to-strength and his relationship with Joe reaches a new level.
