Plot
Emily is pleased when Gary apologises to her for his behaviour and asks her to babysit. Spider steals Les' file from Miss Finch's office and is nearly caught in the act. Betty gives Gary the collection money again and is pleased when he accepts it graciously. Tyrone tries to train Monica to run out of a trap. Miss Finch catches Spider shredding a file and recognises it as one from her office. She summons him to a meeting, warning him if any of her files are missing he's in trouble. Mike gives Mark work at the factory, making deliveries. Linda doesn't like him being around and is annoyed when he accuses her of being a gold digger. Fred tries to wangle an invite to the Freshco's bonding weekend, thinking it'll help his business. Vik asks Steve to help him with the £1,000 he owes the shop but Steve refuses, saying he's lost money and his van.
