Summary[]
Arthur tells Mark he is going to talk to the Mitchell brothers and see what they can do about getting him off the hook. Jules and John practice for their planned poker match in the evening. Ian checks if Sharon wants to be his partner in the new catering business he is setting up.
Mo stirs up trouble at the B&B with her forgetfulness. Phil tells Arthur to leave the police to him and Grant. Jules asks Dot if he and John can use her house to work on his book writing. Unaware of their true intentions, Dot allows them to use her house in the evening. Arthur tells Mark that he is going to go the police himself to get him out of trouble if Phil does not. Ian visits Cindy and asks her if he can see Steven. She allows him to take Steven to the café for a few hours. John takes some of Eddie's clothes and asks Sharon not to say anything to Eddie. Ian talks to his accountant about going into partnership with Sharon, but once Cindy has collected Steven, he changes his mind and decides he needs to think about himself more. Sharon visits Carol, who has now told Sharon's younger brothers they are related. Sharon is delighted Carol is finally accepting her into the family. Jules and John get all dressed up for the poker match. Arthur heads to the police station and protests his son's innocence to a policeman. The policeman does not believe Arthur and tells him to leave before he is charged with wasting police time, as Mark will stand trial for his crime. |
