Episode 1098 (4th November 1986)

A quiet evening in The Woolpack turns very sour when Lesley comes looking for her husband.
==Plot==
Part One: In the morning, Sandie tries to call Phil at Joe's but can't get through. Annie plans a day out in Hotten with Robert to show him off to an old friend. Phil mistakenly thinks the call was from Lesley and confides in Joe, who reminds him about his daughter. Amos is upset that Mr. Wilks moved the piano to the public bar, leading to a heated argument that ends with the piano being moved to Amos's bedroom. At breakfast, the Sugdens discuss Phil and Lesley's separation, making Sandie uncomfortable. Lesley tells Phil she misses him and insists their separation won't work. Phil disagrees but worries when she plans to meet Dolly. Mr. Wilks complains while moving the piano, and Eric charges Joe for a previous lunch with Alan, leading to Joe warning Eric not to do it again.
Part Two: Amos and Mr. Wilks get the piano stuck in the doorway and realise the key is in the bar, trapping them. Joe is angry to discover Alan also charged Eric for lunch and refuses to pay. Alan tells Joe about his conversation with Christopher Meadows regarding the business Joe and Phil are forming, emphasising no divided loyalty. Mr. Wilks asks Amos to get a ladder, much to Amos's embarrassment, and Seth helps out in exchange for two pints. Sandie tells Phil she’ll wait for him. Mr. Wilks and Seth break the front door to get into the bar. Lesley arrives in the village looking for Phil. Amos is furious about the broken window, only for Mr. Wilks to find Amos had the key all along. Lesley finds Phil and Sandie at The Woolpack, calls Sandie a tart, and storms out, driving away. Upset, Sandie leaves, and Phil reflects on the mess he's made of his life.
