Episode 4001 (18th March 2005)

==Plot==
Alan is downcast after Shelly's departure and heads to the memorial garden. Meanwhile, Steph returns to the village in a taxi and heads to Keepers, but is greeted by Betty, who informs her that Alan isn't in. Steph catches up with Alan in the garden and explains what happened in Scotland. She gives him a bottle of whisky. Alan asks her if she thinks Shelly will be happy where she’s gone to, and Steph replies that she's certain that Shelly won't be coming back. Terry and Louise are due to look at Matthew’s friend’s B&B, but Terry has to stay to look after TJ. Matthew offers to take Louise instead and gives a knowing wink to Carl as he leaves the office. Having looked round the place, Louise tells Matthew that he’s really inspired her. Keen to take advantage of being alone with her, Matthew says they should stay for lunch. Carl and Chloe go for a drink in the Woolpack and Chas can’t resist making it known to Chloe that she was round at their place the previous evening. Chloe questions Carl as it dawns on her how many cans of beer were on their kitchen table. Chas overhears their conversation and revels in it. Steph goes to see Ethan and chats to him about Shelly and their past and tells him that she misses her. He asks her what her plans are and she tells him that she’ll probably leave the village as she doesn’t believe there’s anything left for her now. He asks her about her dad, but she tells him that she doesn’t think he’ll want her around now. Ethan calls on Alan and lets him know what Steph told him about leaving, but he tells the curate that it’s probably for the best. Ethan says that Steph thinks he doesn’t care whether she stays or goes. Alan replies that he’s not sure if he does care, and isn't not sure if he'll ever care about anything ever again. However, Alan goes round to see Steph later that evening and thanks her for what she did in Scotland, telling her he’s proud of her. He then tells her that he doesn’t want her to leave, that she’s all he’s got, and he’s all she’s got. She agrees to stay and the two hug.
