Episode 2349 (21st April 1998)

==Plot==
The future looks bleak for Sam when he appears in court charged with assaulting Jez. When things begin to look up, Sam refuses to apologise for Jez. As a result, his case is transferred to crown court and the application for his bail refused. Later that night, Sam sits in his cell, scared and alone, reading a Fireman Sam book. Zak recognises the magistrate as an old friend of his, Stinky McCaig, remembering a time when he saved McCaig from a beating, but then later remembers that he was the one who committed the assault in the first place. Jan's worst nightmare comes true when she opens the morning newspaper to discover a story accusing her of being a menace to children. And she is knocked for six when Ned reveals that he was the source. Sparks fly between Paddy and his mother when she tells him that he is throwing his life away with a girl like Mandy. Will refuses to move to Germany with his parents. But Jack comes up with a solution to his problems - he can stay in Tenant House. Scott discovers that the real culprit of the cash theft is Donna.
