Plot

The residents rally round as Ken goes in search of the twins. They help search the fairground. Maggie's sister Betty Turpin arrives, telling Maggie she's come to look after her. The police take over the search as Val breaks down. Mrs Allendale brings the twins back after finding them and giving them their teas. Maggie has to stop Val from going for her.
