Episode 2165 (12th February 1997)

==Plot==
Roy has spent the night on Biff and Linda's sofa and insists on breakfast as well. Chris calls round early to tell Biff that he wants him to clean some drains out. He notices that Roy is there and makes a nasty comment about not having lodgers. Viv has made breakfast for Alan. She is planning to look for somewhere for her and Donna to live. Kelly telephones Donna. She refuses to speak to Viv, but tells Donna where she and Tom are staying. She asks Donna to visit after school. Tom is going into school to try and explain himself to the head. Marlon tries to borrow money from Mandy, but she is wise to him. Butch refuses to help out as well and warns him to keep his hands off his pigs. Viv knows that Kelly told Donna where she is living, but Donna refuses to say. Steve tells Rachel about Eric's fiancée. She is eager to know more, but that is all Steve found out. Biff and Roy are having a nasty time unblocking drains for Chris. Frank tells them to leave that and tidy up his borders. Vic is pretending that he is no longer interested in Kelly or her whereabouts. The head is appalled to hear that Tom has been lying to him about Kelly. He gives him quite a lecture about a teacher’s responsibility to their pupils. Marlon manages to get around Butch to borrow his pigs by flattering him and boosting his ego. The head tells Tom that he must resign immediately. He will get a reference, but the head does not want to damage the reputation of the school anymore. Helen Ackroyd visits Frank. She starts asking leading questions such as how he got planning permission for the quarry extension. Frank is made uncomfortable by Helen's questioning, especially when she suggests having a photograph taken with Kim and James. Tom tells Kelly that he has resigned. He is depressed about his future. Alan has been to a brewery meeting and mentions the name of Gerald Taylor to Terry. He also mentions that Viv is looking for a flat; this is news to Terry. Butch is worried about his pigs now. He insists on travelling in the back of the van with them. Terry calls at the post office to see Viv. Vic tells him that she is out and then makes a nasty comment. Viv has followed Donna from school to Kelly's flat. Barry catches Butch and Marlon behaving suspiciously around the pigs and comments that the pigs look better than they did. Butch is proud. Kelly tries to comfort Tom. He knows that he will never get another job in the area. Donna arrives and says that the flat is grotty. Viv is close behind her. Chris checks up at the hotel where Kim supposedly made a booking for herself and James. He is puzzled when they tell him that she never actually checked in. He forces Biff to work late. Viv admits that she followed Donna. Kelly and Tom tell her that he has lost his job and they will be leaving the area. Betty thinks that Chris is grooming Biff for a management position, but Linda isn't so sure. Butch is fretting over his pigs. Rachel spreads the gossip about Eric getting engaged. Unfortunately, she tells Betty who immediately goes fishing; she gets no joy with Eric, though. Terry reluctantly tells Viv that that he wants to move with her. Linda arrives home to find that Chris has let himself into the cottage. He menacingly tells her that she has to be nice to him or else Biff will be sacked.
