Alibi (27th May 2008)

==Plot==
Bob manages to get one of the witnesses to remember a specific date that they saw Viv going into the house with Freddie and he checks the post office records and is shocked to see that Viv was off that day. Bob questions Viv about her whereabouts and a broken-hearted, betrayed Viv tells Bob to leave. Louise is worried about the Hopes and she suggests to Bob that he may have got it wrong but he insists that his marriage is on its knees. Louise doesn't want her friends to split up and she asks for the date in question and claims that she spent the day with Viv. Louise worries about her false alibi when Bob insists she confirm it with the police, but it does the trick and the Hopes are reunited. Viv is grateful. Jimmy is unimpressed that Lexi is helping Matthew to stitch up Carl. But when she begs him not to tell Carl, Jimmy can see she has genuine feelings for his younger brother and urges her to tell him herself. Lexi can't bring herself to do it. Also, Eli 'helps' Zak at Home Farm but ends up destroying expensive equipment. Zak has to dip into Belle's school fund to replace it.
