Episode 6024 (9th May 2005)

Plot
Ian pulls another stunt on Sally, making her look stupid in front of Mr Austin the headmaster of Oakhill, when his car isn't ready on time. Suggesting a truce, Ian tells her he'll phone his mate Arthur Brooks of Brooks Autosales and sort her out with a PA job there. Sally's relieved but it's obvious Ian's got something more sinister up his sleeve.

Les and Cilla put their charm offensive into operation. They start by carrying Betty's bags for her. They don't realise everyone can see through their plan. Cilla has a row with Rocky in the chip shop. She throws the salt cellar at him.

There's a leak in the shop coming from the flat above. Sunita discovers it's down to Charlie's shoddy workmanship. She asks him to fix it but he ignores her. Dev demands Charlie fixes the leak but Charlie refuses. Dev threatens to report him and has a go at Shelley for allowing Charlie to walk all over her. Charlie punches him.

Meanwhile, Candice is disappointed when she finds out she didn't get the eye-in-the-sky job but soon cheers up when she sees an advert for a weathergirl in the Gazette.

Fred and Roy discover that Diggory Compton is opening a bakers in the old hardware shop. They're worried about the competition.

Audrey, Hayley, Emily and Betty continue to fuss round Keith, cooking his meals and doing his laundry.
