Episode 4207 (17th November 2005)

== Plot==
Val stands in court and says that she is one of life's victims. She goes on to give a sob story of her life including being beaten by her father and bringing up Paul on her own. On top of trying to get the sympathy vote, she pulls out a wad of cash and says that she is going to return all of the stolen money. Diane is clearly disgusted with her sister. Elsewhere, Steph is nervous about visiting her father in hospital, but when she eventually does she is horrified to learn that Adam has been questioning him about the past. Steph returns to the B&B and asks the doctor what he said to Alan to upset him. Adam insists that he was only trying to help but she tells him that his interference isn’t wanted.
