James Webley was a clothing retailer and a new client for Underworld. Carla Connor made an appointment to meet him at Nick's Bistro for a business meeting however, still taking the blame for the fire at Victoria Court (though, in truth, Tracy Barlow had accidentally started the conflagration) she backed out and made trainee manager Alya Nazir attend instead. That was a mistake: Alya had only an hour to read the brief and she was in deep mourning as her own father, Kal, had died in the fire.
