Episode 2580 (21st September 1999)

==Plot==
The mystery surrounding Chris heightens when Zoe discovers her brother didn't return home the previous evening. And when Angie arrives at Zoe's that evening she is the bearer of bad news. Kathy visits Nick in prison to tell him of Elsa's return. He begs her to keep Elsa away from Alice and is depending on her. Elsa leaves Kathy furious when she shows Alice impressive pictures of Australia and reveals she has a step-brother out there. Eric is taken to the cleaners by Seth when he needs somewhere to store the gym equipment he's bought. Seth tells him the village hall has space … for a price. And Scott's attempts to make it up with Roy by offering to pay back what he owes in instalments, fails to make an impression.
