Episode 5285 (1st May 2009)

==Plot==
Natasha is gutted to find out that Mark did not run an errand for her as she thought. As she finishes the call, Mark returns home and Natasha fills him in on her conversation with the client. Mark admits that he paid Jimmy for the job but chooses not to dig any further despite wondering where her husband went. Mark accuses her of being paranoid but Natasha argues back that he's the one acting strangely. Mark storms out and berates Debbie for interfering with his marriage before Cain saves the day. Natasha finds that Mark has warned Debbie away from the family and apologises to her. Natasha confides in Debbie that she will get to the bottom of Mark's infidelity. Also, acting on a request from Zak, Cain warns Aaron to stay away from Eli stating that his cousin is bad news. Aaron acts like a big man in front of Cain but privately wonders whether he's got a point. Eli explains that he's found out about some red diesel they could steal from an abandoned farm, but Aaron is increasingly unsure about the idea. After they’re almost caught by the police, Aaron backs out of any further schemes with Eli, keen to impress Cain. Elsewhere, Betty is unimpressed with Sandy’s letter. As Pearl recites excerpts of the letter to the other villagers, Nicola asserts that it has a resemblance to the letter Jimmy sent to her. Nicola accuses Betty of theft and then notices Sandy, Jimmy and Doug sharing a guilty look. She hauls Jimmy home for a dressing down and Sandy also gets nowhere trying to attract Betty's attention.
