'Charlie's Angel'
Airs Thursday, May 18 2006 at 17:35 BST on BBC One
Despite Karl’s best efforts to convince her otherwise, Steph sticks to her decision to forego cancer treatment until her child can be delivered safely. The bond between Steph and Boyd grows deeper as she pleads for his continued support. Enlisting his help to secure a video camera, she records a message to be left behind should she not survive. The tape is entrusted into Boyd’s care with instructions to pass it on to Charlie when the time comes. Boyd is devastated to realize his unspoken fears that Steph is planning for her own death.
Kim’s best efforts to increase his hot-dog vending profits have left Janelle largely unimpressed. He’s forced to admit that while he’s done everything possible to make it a viable business, and has indeed shown a small increase in profits, he’s never going to make enough to support a family.
Having been distracted from work lately by Steph’s ill health Lyn is pleasantly surprised when Paul offers sympathy genuine concern. When he asks her to deliver a letter to Harold, she does so without hesitation, but is shocked to learn the letter is an eviction notice. When she confronts Paul about making her do his dirty work, Paul bites back hard. He’s the boss and without any other job prospects, Lyn will continue to do whatever he asks of her or find herself unemployed. Lyn feels trapped and suddenly realises she’s made a deal with the devil.
Janelle and Angie continue to train for their grudge boxing match with Janae taking the role of Janelle’s personal trainer. But Janelle’s confidence plummets when she realises Angie might just give her a run for her money - or at the very least a broken nose.

'Angela's Pashes'
Airs Monday, May 22 2006 at 17:35 BST on BBC One
Zeke finally finds his voice in order to get emergency help for Rachel. He tries and fails to resuscitate his sister, but luckily Katya is on hand to bring her around. Meanwhile, off Susan’s angry insistence, Toadie finally reveals the contents of the detective’s report into Katya’s history. Susan is stunned and feels for everything Katya’s gone through, but makes her intention to use the information clear. Katya asks Susan to let her tell her siblings what’s in the report, and Susan agrees.
Angie and Janelle train for the boxing match and all of the Timminses just know that Angie will make mince meat of Janelle. And she does. However, as a final blow, Janelle throws back in Angie’s face the nugget that she (Angie) made a pass at Kim all those years ago. Angie gets the final shot, however, when she reveals that it was Kim who made the pass at her.
Having decided to move on with his life, Karl contacts an old flame Jenny McKenna. Jenny is in two minds about reconciling with Karl – on one hand, she really likes him but on another, she’s afraid he’s not over Susan and will therefore break her heart. Although Karl can’t promise Susan is out of his system for good, he honestly agrees that he really wants to move on. Jenny relents.
'Deadlier Than The Mail'
Airs Tuesday, May 23 2006 at 17:35 BST on BBC One
Harold urges Lou to face facts – Paul has won and the General Store is fated to close. But Lou equates retirement with death and refuses to give up. When Paul smugly offers to buy the Store out, Lou punches him. Harold makes Lou realise that the situation is out of control – hanging on will only get them further into trouble and debt. Lou is poised to surrender when an anonymous ‘friend’ (Izzy’s mysterious foe) emails him a lifeline - the incriminating footage of Izzy and Ned.
Ned finally wakes up to the fact that Paul doesn’t seem sick, and Izzy appears genuinely to love her ‘dying’ man. When he confronts Izzy about it she uses all her usual tricks – guilt, sympathy, and seduction – but Ned’s still mistrustful. But then Ned sees Paul nursing a blood nose (after Lou punches him), Ned presumes it’s a symptom and apologises to Izzy for ever doubting her. Izzy’s relief is compounded by the news that the person threatening her with the incriminating footage has been arrested – but have the police really got the right man?
Devastated by the Store’s collapse, Sky defames Paul and Lucinda’s on-air, offending both Dylan and Elle. Izzy’s attempts to play cupid aren’t nearly as effective as Sky’s bad behaviour in getting Dylan and Elle to make a connection.
Kim stumbles upon a way to make enough money to provide Janelle with her dream wedding – selling pirated DVDs.
Bree is fraught with worry for sick Summer, but her pride won’t let her admit how much she misses Rachel’s friendship.
'You Light Up My Life Model'
Airs Wednesday, May 24 2006 at 17:35 BST on BBC One
Lou's discovery of footage of Izzy ‘being intimate’ with Ned leads him to blackmail Izzy into helping the General Store stay in business. Izzy claims she can't convince Paul to stop direct competition with the Store and pleads with a confused Harold to talk Lou out of it. Harold confronts Lou and is shocked to hear to what depths his partner is willing to go to save their business. Lou is unrepentant - where Izzy is concerned, he's simply fighting fire with fire.
Izzy encourages Dylan and Elle to get closer, in the hope they'll become a couple. Elle tells Dylan what Izzy is up to and they both decide to have some fun by feigning a growing attraction.
Ned accepts a job as a life model, unaware he'll be modeling in front of Sky and her art class. When Dylan finds out, he runs his fears past Elle, forgetting she has strong feelings for Ned. In convincing Elle she has nothing to be jealous of - he also calms his own fears and realizes he's been acting foolishly.
Stingray is laughed out of his film class with his latest offering. He tries to create a film full of symbolism and metaphor. When Bree catches him, he admits to having no idea what he's doing, and together they create a film that is a big hit with Stingray's teacher and helps to mend their personal rift.
