Airing Monday, 16th May 2005 at 20:30

As the rift between Shelley and Sunita grows, there’s more trouble on the horizon when Betty overhears Charlie threatening trouble with Dev and then asking Jason for a gun.

As the book club hold an extraordinary meeting, Norris reveals his plans for Mel – to publish his book themselves. The members are easily tempted by the promise of easy money for a small initial outlay but a suspicious Ken reckons self-publishing is a risky business. Will Mel be able to convince them to chip in?
Charlie’s back on the street after the police realised they made a mistake. Betty’s mortified but Charlie and Shelley are unforgiving as they become the butt of everyone’s jokes. Charlie’s hurt by how quickly people were to condemn him and as the conversations stop every time Shelley walks in a room she takes refuge in the back, pleased to get away from the gossips.
Elsewhere Maria and Tyrone discuss living together, while Liz isn’t sure she looks forward to visiting Jim anymore. And how will Hayley react when she discovers her surprise trip isn’t to Naples after all?
