==Plot==
Part One: Cain tells Sam he is not going to work as he has to earn the money back that he gave to Zak. He orders Sam back upstairs and tells him to wait there until he calls for him. Robert tells Jack that Andy has a hangover. Andy asks Jack if he can stay off sick. Jack will not hear of it and sternly reminds the lads that there is a career fair at school today. Bob finds evidence of a party around the house. Donna escapes to school. Bob's convinced the party has taken place when Viv shows him spaces on the shelves and thinks they had been burgled. Viv charges out after Donna but is too late as the bus has pulled away. Carlos begs Emily to tell him more about Nicola's potential pregnancy but she won't. Diane is surprised when Bernice turns up to work on her day off and suggests Bernice should be spending some time with Ashley before he goes away. Bernice insists she wants to work. Rodney announces to Louise, Diane and Bernice that he is the new owner of Mill Cottage and orders drinks all round to celebrate. He hints that the place is big enough for visitors - temporary or permanent. Sam drops a rope of tied sheets down from his bedroom window and tries to escape but Cain catches him. Sam accuses Cain of being a bully and Cain begins to push Sam around, frightening him. Cain tells Sam that when it gets dark he will put Sam out of his misery and orders Sam downstairs. Diane warns Louise that Rodney was hinting at moving her in to Mill Cottage and encourages her to tell him she has a return ticket to Australia. Bernice sees Ashley arrive at the pub and tries to escape to the backroom. Diane stops her. Ed tells Emily she is a very attractive woman but Emily is very uncomfortable about talking about their relationship and feelings. Carlos tells Terry about Nicola potentially being pregnant. Terry wonders what Carlos will do if Nicola and Bernice's babies turn out to be his. Donna finds Viv is in the school corridor waiting for her. Viv shouts at her about the party and for taking the bottles from the shop. Miss Strickland approaches and congratulates Viv on Donna getting an interview with the Army. Viv is astonished. Cain continues to push Sam round and tells him he is useless. He blames Sam for Angie finishing with him and threatens to kill Sam. Sam is in tears when a knock comes at the door. Cain instructs Sam to be quiet as he answers the door to Eric who is looking for Sam. Cain tells Eric he hasn't seen Sam and sends him away.
Part Two: Diane sets off on her holiday. The teenagers meet at the playground. Robert asks Katie if they could go out sometime. Katie misunderstands him and tells the group that Robert has suggested they all go out somewhere. Marc suggests the student night in Hotten. Rodney talks to Louise about his plans for the cottage and how he wants Louise to be involved in them. Louise tells him she is going back to Australia. Rodney is gutted but ecides to make the best of their time left together. Sam begs Cain to let him go to the toilet. Cain refuses. Viv refuses to serve Eve at the shop, accusing her of being at the party last night. Eve lies that she wasn't even invited. Viv apologises. Bob tells Donna off about her attempts to join the army. Donna asks why it is Bob giving her the lecture and not her mother. She explains her reasons for wanting to join up. Ollie arrives and they go upstairs to Donna's bedroom. Donna talks about Eve and how she thinks she is a cow for steeling Marc. Ollie talks about the plans to go into Hotten on Monday and suggests they cook up an idea to make Marc see what a cow Eve is. Sam is alone downstairs at Wishing Well Cottage. He takes a piece of wood from the fireplace. Bernice goes to see Carlos and tells him she cannot continue pretending things don't matter between them and thinks they shouldn't worry about other people and simply think about themselves. Carlos tells her that is not possible as Nicola is pregnant. Sam creeps into Cain's room with the wood. He thinks Cain is asleep in his bed and raises the wood into the air and starts to beat at it. Sam turns and Cain is behind him. Cain tells him he is now in really big trouble.
