Episode 2439 (4th November 1998)

==Plot==
Chris fans the flames between Kim and Steve with an impromptu visit to the remand centre. His relentless crusade against the deadly duo has Steve hot under the collar, especially when he suggests that with him banged up Kim is now free to make the most of the money from the horse theft. Laura tells Kim that bearing the name Marchant is killing the Stud Farm business. She suggests Kim thinks about divorcing Steve. Donna gets the third degree at school and but for the intervention of Graham may well have been excluded like her friend Chelsea for beating up Robert. Viv is knocked off her high horse when she realises Donna was really the bully, but quickly jumps at the chance to smooth over the situation when the deputy headmistress suggests she joins Donna's class for a school trip. Butch goes in search of a new image, armed with £60 he's saved - supervised-by mildly amused Biff. Terry is offered the job of running a theme pub in Dundee and puts pressure on Tricia to join him. She asks for time to think but she's got other things on her mind - Scott. And numb with excitement from completing a 2000 piece jigsaw restless Kathy takes her future into her own hands.
