Compo is madly in love with Nora Batty. We knew that, but the idea seems to be that it ebbs and flows in strength and this is a period of him feeling stronger than usual. So he spends most of the episode apart from the other two because he's moping after Nora. Or at least , he's moping at first. But then - joy! Wally Batty has had enough and leaves to go back to his mother!
Clegg and Blamire are struggling as a duo - they realise Compo is the essential ingredient to make things work - but when they call round to see what's going on everything has changed. Compo is clean and tidy and so is his house! He's off for morning coffee with (a rather spruced up) Nora and clearly thinks he's got his feet under her table, finally.
Clegg and Blamire set out to "free" Compo, which is easier than they might have expected, as Wally just wanted a break. He never intended to leave permanently, which Compo knows!
Clegg and Blamire proceed to wind Compo up with the idea that Wally has really gone forever. The meanies! (Although quite how far Compo would have gone with Nora makes you think perhaps it's as well to have saved her)
It's a rather entertaining episode this one, because it's so different in the way Compo and Nora are portrayed. It's also nice to have it made so clear that the trio actually need each other.
