Episode 6099 (22nd August 2005)

Plot
Deflecting Charlie's aggression, Zack gives his opinion that Shelley would benefit from counselling and plans the first session for that week. Charlie can only agree.

Charlie interrogates Shelley about her therapy. He doesn't believe her protestations that she didn't talk about him. He's incensed to hear that Zack will be dropping off a relaxation tape for Shelley later. He resolves to sack him that evening. With Zack's encouragement, Shelley completes her first task and takes down the waste-bins. Faced with her delight at this small step, Charlie has to keep quiet.

Gail is furious when she sees Phil going into Eileen's house. She's insistent that Donald talks to him about his unethical behaviour. Eileen kicks herself for telling Phil about Gail's past sagas - she's made Gail sound like the most interesting woman in the world.

Meanwhile, Norris opens his sealed reference from Rita. Unhappy with its contents, he re-writes his own glowing report. She signs it, confident that no one will ever read it anyway.

When Les confirms that Lloyd does indeed own half of the cab firm, Kelly agrees to meet him in the Rovers. After Audrey points out that Adam will one day inherit the factory, Candice makes a bee line for him.
