Episode 2764 (13th October 2000)

==Plot==
Paddy rummages through the post, pondering what Mandy could have written on their wedding anniversary, which should have been today. Sean and Angie are infatuated. Zoe is continuing interrogating Chris about his whereabouts at lunchtime yesterday. Sean arranges for an after-work meeting with Tara at the stud office to discuss business. Betty and Diane resolved their problems. When Zoe asks Ashley if he'd want to join her for a drink tonight, Gloria accepts. Jason and Joe leave for Venice. Angie meets Cain in The Woolpack and offers to buy him a drink; Cain believes she genuinely likes him. Pollard delivers a bottle of malt whiskey to Paddy. Gloria is dressed to the nines and waiting for Ashley at the pub. To Gloria's chagrin, Zoe wishes to discuss Ashley's wedding plans. Paddy is at home listening to music loudly and drinking whiskey when the village suffers a power outage. Angie discovers several matches and appears terrified as she attempts to light one. Alan believes they should close the pub, but Diane wishes to remain open. Gloria informs Ashley that she does not wish to return home alone, and Ashley recommends they stay in the pub. Diane then asks Betty whether she is up for dealing with money all night because the till is broken. Sean and Tara are lighting candles in the stud office; Tara is adamant about not calling it a night. Cain infiltrates the Reynolds'. Cain volunteers to stay with Angie until the power is restored; he presents her with the candles and wishes her a nice night. Angie secures the door with chains and locks. Betty is interrupted by Kelly, who causes her to lose count. Diane claims the money is £20 short; Betty is offended when Diane and Alan suggest she may have tallied things up incorrectly; Betty becomes enraged and refers to Diane as an over-made-up trollop wearing a wig; Betty declares she will not report to work tomorrow or ever again to perform her cleaning. Paddy is consoled by Lisa. Paddy continues to drink as she kisses his head and wishes him goodnight.
