Episode 7349 (28th May 2010)

Plot
The factory girls pull out all the stops to complete their order and when Rickson arrives to collect, they're delighted to have completed it. When he studies the underwear, though, he spots mistakes and refuses to take the order or pay for services rendered. As he walks out Carla knows they're in trouble.

Carla's forced to admit to the workforce that there's no more work - and with that, all hell breaks loose. Taking action, Nick sends the girls on an enforced two-week holiday and assures Carla that he'll sort out the mess she and Tony have made.

Tony, meanwhile, has plans of his own. As he receives communion in the prison chapel, the priest places something on Tony's tongue. Back in his cell, Tony hands his cellmate Robbie a SIM card, before shaking hands as Robbie's due to be released.

When Leanne meets Cheryl in the pub, she decides to play cupid and invites Lloyd to join them. Lloyd and Cheryl enjoy each other's company and when Lloyd drives her home, he moves in for a kiss. He's disappointed when Cheryl backs off and tells him she just wants to be friends with him.

Elsewhere, David panics when the Platts hear that Gail's trial is going ahead despite the new witness statement; Hayley breaks down as the stress of her separation from Roy takes hold; and David worries that the police know he and Nick bribed Anka.
