Will and Emma are leaving for school. Tony asks Emma if Dean will be coming home with her again as he liked him. Emma's opinion has changed and Tony is puzzled. Kathy is setting off for the trial again. She is worried about Alice. Eric is pleased to have got a cheap deal on some wine. Dee thinks that they should be trying to attract more upmarket customers. Viv is trying to get support against Andy amongst the other parents. Jack overhears her. The head calls Viv into her office. Jack is going to speak to Alan because he is a governor at the school. Kim is going for a ride even though the will reading is this afternoon. Chris is confident that she will not inherit anything. The head tries to reason with Viv about the Andy situation, but Viv is determined to cause trouble and threatens a strike. Kathy has to come out of the courtroom. Seth and Biff are there as witnesses. Karen wants to know why Kathy has not brought Alice. She reiterates that Alice will soon be her daughter. Vic asks Eric if his new band can play in the wine bar. Viv arrives back from the school and tells Vic that she and the other parents are going to boycott that school. She has started a petition. Jack and Sarah call to see Alan. They explain the situation at the school. They want Andy back in the mainstream class. Alan tells them that the school does not need a scandal. Seth is worried that he did not help Nick's case with his evidence. They are making Nick out to be a violent criminal. Kathy tells them that the summing up is about to start. The Tates are waiting for Kim to arrive to start the reading of the will. Chris is confident that she will not get a mention and does not want to wait. Kim arrives and the solicitor begins. The will reads as follows - Chris and Zoe each inherit £500,000, James inherits 10% of shares when he achieves the age of majority, the rest of the estate - money, land and property go to Kim. She is as shocked as Chris. Chris is furious. He cannot believe that his father would have left anything to Kim. The solicitor tells him that the will dates back two years with a codicil which provides for any subsequent heir. Chris can't believe that Frank conned him by pretending that he was making new wills. Kim is happy as she looks at all she owns now. Emma is really upset on the school bus home. Will wants to know what is wrong. The jury is still out at Nick's trial.

They know about Dean now. Chris is also trying to get Zoe on his side. Sophie tells her that she has just got to make up her own mind. They are going out to dinner tonight. Eric tells Dee that he has secured the services of a local band. It is not quite what she had in mind. Betty is trying to get Alice to bed, but she is excited about the thought of her dad coming home. Kathy arrives back from court with Biff and Seth. They tell a saddened Betty that Nick got ten years.
