Episode 2800 (4th December 2000)

==Plot==
Zoe demands that Chris end his seedy little affair with Charity. He's livid when she discusses his private life in front of Joseph. Zoe's disgusted to find out that he pays Charity for services rendered. She orders him to end it or she'll throw him out. In return, Chris blackmails her by saying that if he leaves he'll take Joseph with him. The wedding looms for Tricia and Joe with only one more day to go. Jason's gutted to be told by Paddy that he can't go as the service will remind him of Mandy. Angie confides in Ollie that she's really missing Sarah. Ollie tells Sean he needs to be there for Angie and Sean panics that he's secrets about to be exposed. Zak tells Shadrach that he can stay until he's better. Zak's distant and uptight with Cain when he refuses to let him come to work or feed Belle. Lisa reveals to Zak that she's not pregnant. Betty and Marlon take interviews for Chez Marlon. Betty takes a liking to a charming older gentleman Alfred Rutter. Marlon's not keen and instead gives the job to a much younger woman called Chloe Atkinson, who ultimately makes a good impression on him. Gloria's selling an old vase of her late husbands. Eric gives her a cheap estimate but invites her along to an auction the next day, to which she agrees.
