2613: Malachy has an accident at The Loft site

Malachy's keen to start work at The Loft and Spencer wants to help out, too. Calvin, however, believes that he'll be more of a hinderance. Lucky for Calvin, Cheryl offers to take Spencer to MOBS. At the smoothie bar Cheryl enjoys lusting over instead of working, riling Steph as she works her magic.

Calvin begins to feel useless and out of his depth as Malachy takes charge at the site. He asks Malachy to at least make it look like he's in charge. Meanwhile, Cheryl's a woman on a mission and goes to see Calvin again. However, feeling totally overwhelmed by her, he tells her back off.

As the day goes on, Calvin begins to feel like part of the gang, but while the workers are having a laugh, they don't notice Spencer spilling beer in the yard. Later at The Dog, Cheryl prattles on to Kris and Steph about the new life she hopes to have with Calvin.

As they clock off at The Loft site, Malachy slips and hurts himself, but the other workmen don't want to go near him. Mercedes is socked to arrive and find her man laying injured on the floor…

Meanwhile, the graduates are not too eager for their first shift at the call centre. At the start of the day, their manager Sheila decides to elect a team leader. Sarah volunteers but is turned down in favour of Kris. The others jibe him for being her favourite. He manages to get their backs up by sharing a private whisper with Sheila and by telling Zak to drop his accent when he's speaking on the phone.

Sheila heads out for an hour leaving Kris in charge and the others think they're in for an easy ride but Kris tells them otherwise. Zoe and Zak put on different accents for callers which annoys Kris, but he's happy so long as continue selling.

Sarah, meanwhile, receives a call from a pervert and when Sheila instructs her to carry on with the sale, Sarah aborts. Kris continues to brown nose Sheila but when he makes a snotty joke about Zak's accent, he and Zoe walk out and head for a drink without him…

Elsewhere, Abi is shocked when Daniel tells her that he consciously provoked Natty into hitting him. When they leave the hospital, Daniel and Abi pass a couple with a newborn baby. Abi can barely contain her desire for a child. Ste, meanwhile, feels refreshed after a much-needed sleep. Later, Daniel realises that Abi is struggling and he reassures her that she will get a child of her own eventually, but it's clear that she's still pining for Lucas. When Abi says that she wants to leave Hollyoaks to be a family again, Daniel feels under pressure…

And Carmel's overjoyed to return to Evissa. She recruits Mercedes to help clean up but ends up doing most of the work herself. While Mercedes is having her nails done, she probes Carmel over whether she still has feelings for Calvin. Carmel, however, manages to dodge the question. Carmel knows that she's being exploited by her sister for free treatment, but when she admits to damaging one of Mercedes' dresses the scores are even. The sisters enjoy a rare bonding session…
