Episode 2268 (14th October 1997)

Plot
As well as being embarrassed Linda is also incredulous that her husband Biff lost his temper and gave her dad's name, after they were caught by the police down on lovers lane. Kathy is more than a little angry with Eric and blames him, somewhat prematurely, for shoddy practices which she feels has led to the closure of her tea-rooms as well as his wine bar by environmental health officers. Paddy pours out his heart to Mandy and tells her he'll pursue her to the ends of the earth until she relents and agrees to a date with him. Poor Terry is trying to interest Kim in buying The Woolpack, but his plans fall on deaf ears. Lady Tara has a stark warning for her philandering husband - give up the expensive habits or he'll ruin everyone. Eric realises his food cannot be to blame for the suspected outbreak of food poisoning - but then realises the dodgy vodka he bought might be. Steve arrives back from Hong Kong and reveals to Kim he's made a fortune and reveals he's going to organise an engagement party to remember.
