Episode 3127 (6th March 2002)

==Plot==
Zak is eager to learn more about his dad and decides to invite Shadrach over for a chat, leaving Cain feeling decidedly uneasy. Shadrach initially sticks to the story that Jed was murdered but, realising that Zak now knows the truth, he reveals that he saw Zak's dad only 12 months ago - and living locally. Finally armed with the information that he has been waiting for all his life - Zak can't quite decide what he wants to do with it. Paddy tells Edna that the Sugdens are definitely interested in Tootsie. Despite her reluctance to care for the dog herself, she is critical of the new choice of owner. Edna's fears are confirmed when she sees Robert and Lucy having a row over Tootsie and the frightened dog runs off. Edna later emerges with Tootsie and tells Paddy that the Sugdens aren't suitable. Paddy worries that she may be right. Bernice is delighted to be back at work, but her nose is soon put out of joint when a promotional letter is addressed to Diane, not Bernice. Diane is determined to prove to Rodney that she still has a social life and suggests that she and Bernice go clubbing in Leeds on Friday night.
