Plot[]
Liz urges Jim to apologise to Mike and build something up rather than smashing it down. Vera tells Jack to lay Bill off as he'll be doing the cellar work. The Malletts measure No.9 for their furniture and are annoyed when Jack says the bar is not staying. Vera refuses to take the bar with them and orders Jack to leave it behind. Model agency boss John Fisher calls on Raquel but his attention is caught by Fiona. He tells her that she could have a future in modelling but she thinks it's just a chat-up line. Vera is daunted by the prospect of being a boss. Bill is annoyed to lose his job but Jack assures him that his room at the pub is safe. Jim apologises to Rodney and is allowed back into the Rovers. Fiona realises that Fisher is legitimate when she discovers he is Raquel's agent. He tells her to ring him if she's interested in the odd modelling session. Maxine is annoyed he's not interested in her. Raquel is put out as Fiona has no training. Mike lets Jim apologise to him in public before telling him that he still doesn't want to employ him. Jim blames Liz for making him crawl.
