Episode 2738 (23rd August 2000)

==Plot==
Kelly is in the back of a taxi returning from the airport; she is upset and irritated with the taxi driver for discussing why he despises foreign holidays. Donna is at home on the sofa, crying; Marc comes over and notices the broken picture frame with the photo of Scott and Kelly; Donna freaks out and declares her hatred for the both of them. Diane inquires as to Jack's well-being; he responds that he's attempting to organise everything in preparation for the children's return; he admits that it's difficult because he's so busy with the harvest; Diane offers to assist with the hoovering and cleaning. Marlon and Tricia return to the village following their holiday and decide to continue the holiday spirit by going to the pub first before dropping their bags off. Tricia inquires as to whether Marlon is serious about them opening their own bar/restaurant; he responds that he is, but it will take some time to organise. Tricia believes that all the decorations in the pub are to commemorate their return; Mandy explains that a lot has happened while they were gone and she will explain over a drink. Frankie agrees to work at the garage when Scott asks her. Marlon is enraged because Carlos appears to have rearranged his kitchen. Zak makes an offer to assist Jack with the harvest. Kelly informs Viv that Roy went to Ibiza without her; she is perplexed as to why he left her and informs Scott that it is entirely his fault. Sarah attempts to convince Richie that they should relocate to Pear Tree Cottage because there will be enough room for the children, and so they visit Chris. Chris indicates that Richie and Sarah are welcome to move into his cottage. Bernice informs Marlon that she is considering offering Jason a more permanent position. Tara apologises to Sarah for believing she is Richie's mother, but digs herself an even deeper hole. Chris informs Richie that he will be required to sign a tenancy agreement and to mingle with Tara, who may be a potential investor in their business. Donna enters the pub and is horrified to see Kelly has returned. Donna informs the entire pub that Kelly and Scott have been having an affair.
