Episode 654 (2nd April 1981)

==Plot==
Things are looking bleak for the protestors in the village, but Henry has a trick up his sleeve. Jack is released pending investigation into the fire at Ridge Farm. He says one of his hankies was planted there, the one he dropped outside the caravan, which had his initials on it. However he has a watertight alibi and is off the hook. Jack sees Tom and tells him his plan was unsuccessful, that if he hits Pat again, he will regret it. Tom says it was an accident but Jack is sceptical. Jack also says the barn fire is suspicious as well. He tells Tom that he should keep out of the way from him and Pat, well out of the way. Jack says to Annie that he had no plans to marry Pat, until now.
