Episode 2799 (1st December 2000)

==Plot==
Chris instructs Terry to take Joseph away for the day to see Santa in Harrogate, as he has other plans and needs everyone out of the way. The arrest of Jack is widely reported in the Hotten Courier. Tricia is on the lookout for a witness for the wedding. Marlon prepares to inform Betty that she has been fired from Chez Marlon. Zak hasn't slept all night. Marlon makes an unsuccessful attempt to dismiss Betty, and she ends up ironing his linen. Chris is getting ready for a night with Charity. Lady Tara is unable to be found, and a high-profile client is on his way to the Stud Farm, requesting to speak with one of the directors. Shadrach has been immobile all morning, slumbering in a drunken stupor. Faith decides to leave before he awakens, and Lisa appears anxious when Zak offers to take her suitcase. Marlon and Tricia are horrified when Betty answers the phone and introduces herself as the head waitress when someone inquires about a waitress interview. Faith informs Zak that he is Cain's only hope, but wishes him luck as she walks out of everyone's life once more. Bev invites Zoe and Paddy to lunch at The Woolpack. Kathy pays a visit to Jack in prison. Jack is certain that he does not want the children to visit him for a while and that they should begin adjusting to life without him. Adam volunteers to be Tricia's witness. Virginia panics and rushes to Zoe to inform her about the Stud Farm's crucial client. Zoe informs her that this is her opportunity to shine. A pleased Virginia afterwards gives over a contract to Zoe. Lisa believes Zak is the only person capable of assisting Cain and believes they should give him another chance. Chris and Charity's conversation is cut short when Marlon arrives at Home Farm. Charity conceals herself in the stud office but is caught by Zoe. Zoe is enraged, believing Charity has broken in. Chris kisses Charity's hand. Zoe is taken aback.
