Episode 3999 (16th March 2005)

==Plot==
Shelly says her farewells before leaving the village, telling a tearful Alan that all he has to do is call if he decides he’d like to join her. Steph later visits Alan and is overwhelmed when he admits he couldn’t leave her behind. She vows to go after Shelly herself to convince her to come back, claiming that if she's successful she will not be returning herself. As Steph leaves she says an emotional goodbye to her dad, explaining that this may be the last time they see each other. Meanwhile, Eric tells Val the exhibition has turned into a disaster since Glynis unlawfully revealed that he's giving the profits away. Val points out that they are still able to deduct expenses and is confident that with some clever accountancy they’ll come out on top.
