Episode 2188 (4th April 1997)

==Plot ==
Viv is still very angry with Vic telling him that she would have copied Kelly's lead and left with Donna had they had anywhere else to go. Vic seems to be reflecting on the enormity of what he had done and when he finds a love letter from Tom to Kelly in her bedroom, he thinks might be able to find them at Tom's address in Aberystwyth. Donna is upset about Kelly's disappearance and accuses Vic of doing it out of spite because Kelly was happy and he wasn't. Vic tells her that he had only done it because he wanted Kelly to stay at home with them and forget about Tom. Vic is still determined to go looking for Kelly but Viv tells him that she is sixteen and if she was determined to leave there would be nothing they could do about it. Later, Terry comes to the post office and tries to apologise to Viv and offer his support, but she tells him to go away. Paddy continues to try to flirt with Mandy. Dee decorates Eric's house with a few artefacts from the Philippines, much to Eric's horror. The Dingles’ bus service begins with arguments over who would drive. It’s decided by the toss of a coin that it would be Albert. However, Zak and Butch are suspicious of what Albert and Marlon are getting up to with the takings. When the time comes to divide up the takings, an argument erupts but Lisa forces Zak and Albert to make up or else. Chris is still seething about what happened with Kim and the livery deal and angrily berates Zoe for not honouring his agreement with Kim and handing over the deeds. He tries to turn Sophie against Zoe but she sees through him straight away. When Zoe goes to go see Frank in prison, she is worried that she cannot cope with the business as well as her surgery and everything else. He urges her to appoint Steve as acting manager of Tate Holdings, adding that he trusts him more than Chris, forcing Zoe to tell him about Chris' deal with Kim. Frank is shocked and initially thinks Zoe was lying but she insists it was true but instead of being angry, he laughs it off adding that he wishes he had been there to see Chris' face. Later when Chris visits Frank, he tries to imply that Zoe isn't up to the job and to convince him to give him a loan for £750,000 to buy back the livery business. Frank, however, sees straight through him and tells him that he is a traitor and would never get another penny out of him again. Rachel and Steve share a drink in the Woolpack and he implies to her that Chris is having financial difficulties but Rachel puts it down to Chris merely trying to wriggle his way out of a divorce settlement. Later that evening in the wine bar, Zoe and Sophie are having a drink and Zoe invites Sophie and James to move in with her because she doesn’t want to leave her at Home Farm with Chris. Zoe also told Steve she needed to talk to him about Home Farm. There is still a lot of tension at the chalet with Tony maintaining that the baby should be put up for adoption. Charlie says it is up to Emma and Becky agrees. Later when they went to see Emma in hospital they are accosted by a social worker whose involvement further angers Tony. He says his daughter was raped but the social worker maintains that Emma had consented to sex, meaning there is very little the police could do, especially as Emma is unwilling to reveal the father's identity. Tony blames Becky for what had happened with Emma but apologises when she tells him it is equally his fault for not being there for the children. Emma wants to leave hospital but when the subject of the baby is approached she is adamant she didn't want to see her and wants it to be given up for adoption because it is the reason why everybody hates her.
