Plot[]
Part One: Under the threat of security being called, John manages to get the manager and the customer away from Anna and Eddie. A delighted Rita attends Sally's birthday barbecue. John tells the manager that he used to be a super salesman in furniture retail and has trouble coping with the rejection since he was made redundant. He was also about to close the deal with the Windasses. Sally tells Kevin that she'd like to take up jogging and go with him. Sophie and Sian reveal that they will not be taking dates to their school prom. The sympathetic manager allows John to continue his sale. Tina accuses David of pouring poison into Graeme's ear. David denies it but is delighted to hear the happy couple have fallen out. Eddie and Anna choose a sofa and head for the tills. John's proud when the manager offers him a job. Owen agrees to refurbish Underworld but tells Carla it will be a six-week job, delaying her start on Paul Stokes's order. Fiz isn't pleased that John now owes the Windasses £85 from his supposed staff discount. Lewis makes it clear to Claudia that he's definately off the market. Chesney tells a concerned John and Fiz about the mystery caller.
Part Two: John dismisses Chesney's concerns when he remembers hearing the name "Colin Fishwick" before. A desperate Nick suggests to Carla that she could use Turners Joinery to start her order. Audrey has had enough and tells Claudia to be happy for her and Lewis or keep out of her way. Fiz despairs at the latest consequence of John's deceit. They are unaware of Chesney listening in on their conversation. Carla agrees to Nick's proposition but makes it clear that it's temporary and he has no stake in her business. Tina calls on Graeme at the butchers and vehemently declares her love for him. Chesney confronts John and Fiz about what he heard. Tina daubs "Tina loves Graeme 4eva" on the shop window. They are reconciled. David isn't pleased to see them together. John is forced to come clean about teaching in Rochdale under Colin's name. Chesney's incredulous and walks out, disgusted by them both.
