Episode 6108 (5th September 2005)

Plot
Sally embarks on home tutoring Sophie and sets her a spelling lesson. Sophie slacks all day, so Sally drags her to the factory to keep an eye on her.

Shelley's task for the day is to take Charlie his sandwiches. With Zack's help, she overcomes her worst fear, as she bumps into Bev on the way to the yard. Charlie undermines Shelley's achievement with a snide comment about the type of bread she's bought. She tearfully curses her stupidity. Zack tells her not to rush things, but Shelley's determined to buy Charlie the right type of bread. She plans to go to Sunita's shop today.

Claire has impressed a punter, Mal Quillan, with her promptitude and he wants to set up a contract with Street Cars for his chain of pubs. Steve insists on meeting Mr Quillan himself and sends Lloyd off on a job.

Meanwhile, Fiz and Maria squabble over the chores for the dog kennels. Maria is amazed when a couple of unruly dogs immediately obey Molly Compton's command.

Tracy arranges lunch with Deirdre but she goes to the Rovers with Nathan instead. Tracy's missing and Deirdre can't be late back to work. Desperate, she asks Steve to come and look after Amy. Steve tells Claire to stall Mal Quillan until he gets back. Tracy returns and is furious to find Steve in her house with Amy and Deirdre.

Elsewhere, Rosie continues to moon over Nathan. Gail tells Audrey that she'll be strictly colleagues with Phil from now on. And Norris sets off for his interview, repeating a mantra of positivity.
