83across: e-s-
Quick clue: Slacker
Cryptic Clue: Because in the middle of the week will slacken off
I suspect the answer is 'ease' and the quick clue should be slacken (yet another misprint in this crossword? if so,getting to be a regular occurence).Any other option?

cryptic version
because = as
in the middle of the wEEk
AS inside EE = ease
so it looks like a misprint

Thanks, Chris.I concur with your reasoning which serves to confirm the suspicion that the quick clue is wrong.
