Episode 2681 (18th April 2000)

==Plot==
Angie forces Sean up to the haulage yard when she sees the family are at stake. Instead, he spends his day at the pub and is talked into joining Kathy’s campaign. Angie’s furious to discover this and confronts Sean. It’s clear she has no remorse for the village, Lisa or the Dingles, and demands that Sean must stay loyal to the company for the sake of their family. The morning after, Zak instantly regrets spending the night with Nellie and desperately tries to escape her amorous clutches. Tricia takes it upon herself to fix Ashley and Bernice when Bernice is beside herself at work. She’s gutted to hear from Ashley that Bernice will never love him, and because of the strongness of his feelings towards her, he has to accept that. Sarah’s getting frustrated with family life, while Jack’s happy to have spent the day with his children while they taught Victoria how to ride a bike. Sarah reminds him that when it becomes an everyday job, it’s more of a chore than anything else. Alan informs Kathy that he’s resigned from his position as estate manager at Home Farm and offers Kathy his help and support with the campaign. He pulls a few strings with old contacts at the highways committee for her and introduces her to Councillor Ecclestone who offers his help. Zoe’s livid to come home and find that Frankie’s back. She orders her out, but when Frankie tells her she wants to be with her, Zoe softens to her charms.
