7.030mOctober 10, 1983

Now that they're partners again, Oliver and Simon spend a day stock-taking and disparaging each other's items. Oliver is delighted when Bethan, an old school friend, comes into the shop to sell an antique watch. For old times' sake, Oliver pays her over the odds, later to learn from Simon that she is a con artist - after Oliver has parted with cash half of which now belongs to Simon.
