Plot[]
Sophie decides it's time to move on with her life and asks Sally for a job at Foster's but her mother tells her that she doesn't want her working at a factory. Both Maria and Tommy independently berate Tyrone for his treatment of Fiz, pointing out she's one of his oldest mates and he seems to be avoiding her. Eileen is depressed at the state of her love life. Peter lies to Leanne telling her that he's got a new sponsor at the alcoholics' group and he'll be meeting up with him twice a week for one to one sessions. Beth starts work at Foster's. She quickly gets on Eileen's nerves. Frank apologises to Sally for trying to kiss her but she tells him there's no need - she was just a bit shocked. Sally suggests Frank sets about winning his clients back, starting with Mike Leydon. Rosie's horrified to see her road safety campaign photos in the Gazette and on the bus shelter on Rosamund Street. Frank's still furious with Anne for trying to bribe Carla and insists she stays away from the factory for a few weeks. Frank and Sally entertain Mike Leydon at Frank's house. They convince him that Frank is just an innocent victim of Carla's treachery. Sally tells Frank that she’s absolutely convinced of his innocence. Eileen tracks down Paul and invites him round. She admits she can't live without him and suggests they have an affair. Paul's taken aback and tells her that he has to get back to Lesley. He leaves and Eileen feels humiliated. As Frank says goodnight to Sally, she kisses him. Their kiss quickly becomes passionate.
