Plot
Steve's stunned when Liz explains how Charlie tried it on with her. Liz asks Charlie to tell Shelley the truth but he refuses. Deirdre tells Liz how Charlie did the same kind of thing to Bev who had to leave.

Steve has a go at Charlie for lying about Liz but Charlie sticks to his story. Shelley admits to Sunita that she's starting to doubt Charlie's version of events. She raises her doubts to Charlie who quickly turns the tables saying that if she doesn't trust him he may as well leave. Pretending to be deeply offended, Charlie storms out and Shelley feels terrible.

Meanwhile, Les apologises to Cilla for disbelieving her but Cilla's enjoying having the moral high ground for once and continues to act hurt. Patrick offers to chat up Cilla as a test to see if she really would consider an affair. Les thinks it's a good idea.

It's Eileen's birthday. She gets a card from Todd but Jason's forgotten. Sean gives Eileen a silk scarf for her birthday. Jason tries to pass it off as a present from him.
