Episode 2663 (9th March 2000)

==Plot==
Robert and Andy fall-out just as a letter finalising Andy's adoption hearing arrives. Sarah is adamant that Jack should repair his relationship with Robert before he takes on another son but Jack's attempts fail when he lashes out in anger. Mandy's return to the village sets the cat amongst pigeons when she undoes Butch's coaxing words to Zak by shouting endless abuse at him. Meanwhile, Butch tells Lisa that she is more of a mum to him than Nellie could ever be. Scott becomes suspicious of Richie and follows him to Home Farm where he learns of the business deal with Chris. Hurt and betrayed he tells Richie they were supposed to be partners. Richie feels uncomfortable and Chris has Scott thrown out. And new Spanish chef Carlos sets hearts fluttering when he arrives in the village to start work at the diner. Both Diane and Viv flock in to catch a glimpse of him and proceed to flirt unashamedly all afternoon.
