Jim tells Steve he's going to get the police on to him for attempted murder. Steve tells him that he'd have done the job properly if he'd wanted to kill him. Pam advises Fiona to move away from the McDonalds and sell the salon. Greg finds it hard having Sophie in the flat and is furious when she spills lager over his laptop. He upsets Sophie, shouting at her. Sally tries to soothe him. Jim assures Liz that he isn't going to the police. A saddened Sally takes Sophie back to Kevin as she's upset.
