Episode 2185 (1st April 1997)

==Plot==
Zoe spends all night being questioned by the police about the cufflink and they try to suggest that she was an accomplice in Kim's murder, but they let her go without charge. Chris is more worried that he'd be implicated and suggests to Zoe that she had tried to stitch Frank up so she could have complete control of Home Farm. Dee is arrested by the immigration authorities who come to the tea rooms and catch her helping Kathy out during a busy period. Eric goes to the police station to try and sort things out and show them that they intend to marry. The detective tells them that she could have her passport back as long as they get married and she doesn’t do any more work. They celebrate in the wine bar. Kathy has been really busy and Terry offers to help her out. Eric employs him to act as barman so he can spend more time with Dee. Dee goes to see Betty and accuses her of going to immigration, which Betty denies. She tells her that whoever had gone to the authorities had nothing against her but makes it clear that Eric has many enemies. Linda continues to brood over the baby and suggests to Biff that if no one claims the baby they should consider taking her. She tells Biff that they should have lots of children before making an emotional plea on television for the mother of the baby to come forward. Biff's mum turns up at Betty's thinking that the baby is Biff and Linda's and they had dumped it because he knew it might have Huntingdon's Disease. Biff tells her it wasn't them and was shocked that she had actually been telling the truth. Betty tries to convince him to go and take the test. The Dingles continue to keep Colin hostage. Marlon heads to a meeting with the rival vendors, but he too is kidnapped by them and is shocked to discover that Mr Big is his father. The Dingles and the rival vendors meet up at a rendezvous and they discover Albert is behind it. Zak is shocked and ends up getting punched by a beefy man called Shirley when he challenges Albert to a fight. Frank is taken from prison to the quarry where he is informed of the new evidence. DI Cooke tells him that the new evidence had come courtesy of Zoe. When Zoe turns up at the quarry, he was shocked to discover that she thought he may have had a hand in Kim's death after all and says he never thought Kim would come between them but she has.
