Episode 5597 (30th April 2010)

==Plot==
Sam's affronted when Eric quizzes him over the B&B robbery. He innocently denies being involved, insisting that he received a cash advance from Natasha. However, when Eric approaches Natasha, he's dismayed to hear that she did nothing of the sort. Marlon's exasperated when he realises that Eli took the money. With that, Eli packs his belongings and waits at the bus stop. He's thoughtful, though, as he glances at the pub. Eli confides in Marlon that he's leaving for good and as he leaves, he overhears Val blaming Sam for the robbery. A guilty-ridden Eli exonerates his cousin, before doing a runner as Eric calls the police. Marlon tries to stop his brother but Eli walks off into the distance. Meanwhile, Maisie and Declan notice Natasha's irritation at their dinner date. Later, Natasha expresses her concern that Declan's too old for her daughter. Later, the atmosphere's evidently tense between Faye, Maisie and their respective dates. Elsewhere, Adam's clearly impressed by Eve when she arrives for work on the farm but Andy's wary and doubts that she'll last a month. Also, Terry tells Brenda that he's sick of working with the Pollards and has decided to sell up.
