Episode 7316 (12th April 2010)

Plot
Fiz is horrified when John reveals that he's applied for a job using Colin's identity and spurred by his actions, she asks if their marriage means so little to him. As the day goes on, though, Fiz's opinion is swayed after a chat about ambition with Deirdre.

Realising how much the teaching profession means to John, Fiz agrees to go along with his plan. But as an ecstatic John discusses the practicalities of using Coin's ID, Fiz begins to wonder if she's making a big mistake.

Meanwhile, Sian's angry to find Sophie on her doorstep but reluctantly lets her in the house. Inside, Sophie asks her best friend why she ran off but Sian's cold and insists that their kiss meant nothing. Sophie goes on to admit that she loves Sian, prompting Sian to slap her and furiously state that she's not a lesbian. Sian goes on to seethe that she hates Sophie for what she's doing.

Later, a downbeat and heartbroken Sophie returns to the Street alone.

Elsewhere, as the adoption meeting commences, Anna tells Becky that she's looking to fill her empty nest, before making a dig about Becky and Steve living in a pub.
