Plot

Teresa nicks some cash out of the till in the takeaway. Ken's invited to a university reunion. Deirdre thinks he should go. Harry tells Liz that Dan has changed his statement and Steve's now in the clear. Lloyd gives Teresa some computer games for Finlay and asks if he can spend some time with his "son". Carla books a hair appointment with Maria. Maria tells Audrey it's fine as she's over her paranoia where Carla's concerned. Liam turns up at the factory and Carla reminds him of her threat to tell Maria. Michelle gives Steve the good news about Dan. Steve behaves strangely, especially when Becky walks past. Michelle's bemused. Jerry and Mel confront Teresa over the missing cash. She admits she took it but then lies saying she bought Finlay computer games - the ones Lloyd bought. Liam and Carla have a full scale row in the factory office whilst Sean, Kelly, Rosie, Sally, Fiz and Janice all watch. Carla forces Liam to meet up with Tony insisting that he sells his share of the factory to Tony. Meanwhile she enters the Salon for her appointment with Maria. Under pressure from Tina, David looks for a job. He arranges an interview at a hair salon in town but he's worried that Audrey won't give him a reference. Liam meets Tony at the gym. He tells Tony he wants to sell his share of the factory and wants to give him first refusal. Tony's suspicious. Maria does Carla's hair. Carla makes jibes about Liam but Maria ignores them. Vernon gets some work in a music studio doing the backing track. Liz is very enthusiastic and suggests she goes with him. Vernon's bemused. Lloyd tells Mel how Teresa reckons he's Finlay's dad. Mel drags Lloyd round to No.6 and forces Teresa to admit she lied to get money out of him. Jerry and Mel are disgusted with her and Jerry tells her that he wants her out by the morning. Lloyd leaves feeling used. Steve tells Michelle he's thinking of going to stay with Andy in Spain for a few days. Michelle's okay with the idea but can't help feeling there's something Steve isn't telling her. She quizzes Lloyd but he remains tight-lipped. Tony asks Carla why she's had a change of heart about his buying into the factory. Carla makes out Liam's a useless business man. Tony's bemused.
