Episode 2346 (9th April 1998)

==Plot==
Vic's attempt to resolve the resentment between Viv and Kelly fails when the two women begin to argue violently. But there is suddenly silence when Scott returns unannounced on leave from the army. Tony offers Emma and Will a home in Germany. But when Becky tries to talk to him, he tells her he's here to see the kids, not her. Miserable Sam admits to Kathy that he fears any woman he likes will never be more than a friend. Alan visits a despondent Eric to see if he's all right and compares Eric's situation to when Shirley died. Lyn brings Heather to visit Outhwaite, but tensions between father and daughter reach boiling point when he finally admits why he threw her out. Heather slaps her father and says she wishes she did that years ago. Seeing how much worry and distress this is causing his grandchildren, Outhwaite tells Heather he is willing to try again, but for the sake of Lyn and Kirsty. Biff confronts Ackroyd over the story about Jan and tells her that he might well have some dirt on the Tates. Jack and Sarah are unsure when Ned offers to have Jan babysit the kids, and wonder about how they're going to tell him. Ned spots Biff talking to Ackroyd and, assuming the worst, confronts him, but Biff and Ackroyd placate him and try to make him see that she's trying to help. Later at Tenant House, Ned tells Biff he's willing to help but doesn't want Jan to know.
