Plot[]
Ken gets time off work from Sue Jeffers to go and visit Daniel. Sally tells Mike she's not working any more Sundays and doesn't want to do anything else illegal. He is annoyed that she's told Kevin about the markets and tells her that she's obviously against him. She is upset when he tells her she'll have to resign. She refuses to resign and tells him he'll have to sack her. Mike sees Kevin in the Rovers and tells him that the illegal trading was the only thing keeping him afloat and without Sally all the other workers will be put on the dole. Curly accuses Samantha of testing Sean's passion by getting him to join her on physical ventures. He tells her Sean is bound to give up on her soon if she keeps him at arm's length. Sally fears the girls will lose their jobs if she doesn't help Mike out but Kevin suggests she calls his bluff. Samantha takes Sean to her self-defence class. She is impressed to discover he knows a bit of judo and suggests they both take part on a sponsored parachute jump for charity. Sean is scared at the thought. Mike is annoyed when Sally resigns from the factory, assuring him she won't tell anyone about the trading. Mike bounces back by asking Ashley to help him out. Sean begs Des to help him out of doing the jump.
