Episode 2193 (16th April 1997)

==Plot==
Tony is furious with the nurse that Emma had just been allowed to walk off with Geri whilst a distressed Emma turned up at the Glovers' house. When Jan ascertains Tony and Becky don't know her whereabouts, she tells Emma she would have to call them, but Emma is adamant she doesn't want them to know but eventually agrees. Jan calls Tony and Becky who'd arrived back at the chalet to find an unsympathetic Charlie a bit worse for wear after her night drinking. They go to the Glovers and reassure Emma that she could keep the baby but it isn't just up to them. She would have to be assessed to see if she is fit enough to look after Geri but they’d have to return her to the hospital for now. Emma reluctantly agrees that this would be for the best. Andy punches Donna during an argument, causing her lip to split after she tells him the only reason he’s living at the Sugdens’ is because they get paid to keep him. She runs off telling Andy she would get her mum but before Viv arrives, Andy drags Robert out of the house. Viv confronts Sarah, telling her that Andy is out of control and would get in touch with Social Services if matters continue. Later, Jack is appalled to overhear Andy tell Robert that if he grasses him up to Jack and Sarah over Donna he would tell them he did it. However, when challenged, he lies saying that he's been talking about the pane of a greenhouse he'd accidentally broken with a football. Jack sends him to his room until he is prepared to tell the truth. Sarah confides in Rachel at Mill Cottage that she isn't sure they can cope with Andy or if he’ll ever settle down. Sophie is trying to leave the Dingles’ house quietly after, presumably a night with Butch, but bumps into Mandy on her way out causing the whole house to wake and assemble on the stairs. She tried to maintain that she had slept on the sofa, but they did not believe her. Exasperated and upset, she leaves but the teasing of Butch, by the Dingles, continue. In the morning, Zoe is still angry with Sophie for leaving her in the lurch with James. Sophie is embarrassed and angry when later, as she havs dinner with Zoe, Butch turns up to invite her for a drink and won't accept she has to work. She tells him she wants to keep her job and adds that she won't be available in the evening for another six months before shoving him out of the door. Mandy has her interview with Alan for the bar manager's job and maintains that she is perfect because she knows the customers. Alan, however, says this isn't necessarily a good thing and she would have to know how to stock-take, balance the books and VAT but she proves she was more than capable in the first areas as she knows exactly what is in her fridge down to the last sausage and she checks her purse in the evening and in the morning. Although she has to tell him she doesn't have a clue about VAT he admits he doesn't either. She is convinced she has the job but Alan says he would let her know with the other candidates. Dee is concerned that she has overlooked an English custom that says that guests don't reply to the wedding invitations. Eric reassures her that this was sometimes the case, but he is uneasy about the subject. The Dingles decide to expand their bus company into pensioners day trips with Albert suggesting a trip to Amsterdam. Paddy asks Mandy out on a date and after a little persuasion she agrees. Chris and Steve continue their feud. Roy complains to Steve and Chris that he can't do all the work at the holiday village on his own. But when Chris tells him to go away, Steve tells him not to worry and he was addressing the problem, later offering Biff his old job back. When Rachel asks Steve to sign some papers, Chris informs her that she should tidy Mill Cottage as prospective buyers would be coming round this afternoon but Rachel tells him they wouldn't set foot over the threshold. When the buyers arrive, they turn out to be bailiffs and remove everything but a few bits of furniture as Rachel angrily phones Chris to get him to come round immediately. She is mortified when he tells her he has debts of £350,000 but is more angry, when Steve arrives later, to find out he already knew about it. She also calls him up on his behaviour with Charlie the previous evening. When Chris returns with an offer of furniture, Rachel tells him she would not accept any Home Farm cast-offs and has a go at Steve and Chris, telling them that she needs a stiff drink and if they want to help they could look after Joseph before storming out. Linda continues to stress that she wants a baby, but a subdued Biff later admits to Betty that he hasn't told her about the fact that he may have Huntingdon's Disease because he doesn’t know how to. Indeed, later when he tries to, Linda is busy talking about having a baby that he can't get a word in edgeways.
