Episode 3988 (2nd March 2005)

==Plot==
Sadie and Jimmy are blaming each other for the situation they are both in, though Jimmy reminds his wife that she was invited to join the family when she married him and ends up telling her that she's not a part of it now. Tom bumps into Cain in the village and confronts him from what he and Sadie did to Charity, telling him he knows exactly what the pair did to her and that he is broken hearted over her departure. Tom starts to berate Cain's thuggish nature, which provokes the Dingle hardman to threaten an unfazed Tom until Matthew abruptly intervenes to warn off Cain. Eventually, Cain walks away and Tom instructs Matthew to round up their family for a meeting at the office. Prior to this, Carl insistently tells Chloe to forget everything she saw and heard everything about what last night's incident confirmed about Paul Marsden. At the office, the King brothers and Sadie are at the office where Max jokingly states that Tom may grant them bonuses after last's night incident. Jimmy responds by insulting Max until Matthew defends him. Tom soon arrives and announces it's time for a few home truths. As Sadie fruitlessly tries to justify her actions, Tom quizzes Carl and then Matthew about whether they were aware that Sadie used Cain to set-up Charity; both Carl and Matthew deny their awareness, as does Jimmy when Tom also questions him upon taking notice of his eldest son's reaction to the question his father had just asked. Tom then orders everyone but Jimmy and Sadie to leave the room. Jimmy is summoned to his father's office first, whereupon Tom starts to berate his eldest son for the circumstances that happened with Charity. In response, Jimmy flips and tells Tom that he is fed up with him alongside both Matthew and Sadie for the way they treat him in both family and business routines. He is then shocked when Tom, considering Jimmy's argument to be out of the question, proceeds to sack him - even though Jimmy is the director of King & Sons; Jimmy points this out before storming out of the room. Elsewhere, Zak asks Debbie why she didn’t go with Charity. She relays the truth about Cain and the wedding. Zak later approaches Cain and reprimands him for the way his behaviour has affected Debbie, promising him that he'll renounce him as his son should he ever do anything to harm Debbie. This spurs Cain into action as he tells Debbie that he's going to try to be a better dad. Back in the office, Tom summons Sadie to his office and starts lecturing her as she tries to placate his feelings - going as far as to call her father-in-law "Dad" in the process. After telling Sadie that Charity is worth ten of her and further rebuking her for not telling Jimmy that she doesn't want to have children sooner, Tom tells Sadie that he will never forgive her for betraying him. Later that night, Sadie drowns her sorrows at Home Farm and confides to Zoe about everything that has happened. Zoe responds by telling Sadie that she would have done the same thing to stop Charity from marrying Chris, or to prevent Frank from wedding Kim again. Being one to comfort her friend, Zoe tells Sadie to keep her hopes up that all will soon be forgiven when the time comes.
