Emily's impressed when Norris talks to Chesney's dog, Schmeichel over the wall and manages to quieten him down. Sally tells Rita how she dreamt that Rosie was the youngest person from Weatherfield to attend Oxford University. Sally decides that Rosie is going to private school to fulfil her potential and she gets the literature on Oakhill School but Kevin's opposed to the idea.
