Episode 5541 (25th February 2010)

==Plot ==
Carl's suspicious when Nikhil's edgy over the non-factory pick up he's arranged. When Carl discovers that he has to pick Thomas up from school early, he's forced to give Charity the job. Charity takes Noah with her and oblivious to the fact Charity has taken the job, Cain arranges for the truck to be aggressively hijacked. Before she knows what's going on, Charity's bundled into the back of the van, while Noah cowers in the passenger seat terrified. Laurel can't help pushing Ashley away even though she knows it's hurting him - her blood boils whenever she thinks of Sally. Doug kindly reminds Laurel not to let Sally win and she tentatively agrees when Ashley suggests that they enjoy the anniversary evening that Sally ruined before she left. Rodney's amused when his advert in the lonely hearts' gets some attention and he arranges a date. At the pub, Rodney arrives with a much younger Fiona. Nicola's awkward, though, when she discovers that Rodney's date is her old school friend.
