Jamie gently offers to drive Carol home, but she declares that she's been evicted, so he's stuck with her. Sally goes to see the Head of Weatherfield High - it's Mr Lewis, Rosie's old Year Nine Head, who Sally has already sparred with.

She signs it, confident that no one will ever read it anyway. After Audrey points out that Adam will one day inherit the factory, Candice makes a bee line for him.
