Episode 3086 (8th January 2002)

==Plot==
It's the end of an era for the Sugden family, as Melby Farm goes under the hammer at auction. But Jack's hopes of escaping from his financial nightmare are dealt a blow when Chris tells him that he has no intention of bidding for the farm. Jack is distressed when the land fails to reach its reserved price and is withdrawn from the auction. But there is light at the end of the tunnel, and a bidding war begins between Chris and Ray for the farmhouse. Latisha confides in Jason that she is sick of her mother treating her like a child. She is excited when he suggests that she could move in with him, but there is one stumbling block - Scott. Robert and Andy's battle for Katie reaches new heights, when Robert tells her that Andy was responsible for killing his mother. But his plan backfires when Katie rushes off to find Andy to hear his side of the story. Charity is determined to land the refuse contract for the village and enlists the Dingles help to clear the rubbish from the streets, much to Eric's annoyance. Reeling from the burglary at his home, Len is pleased when Angie and Ollie suggest that he should continue living with them.
