Plot
Jamie arrives to tell Tom that the Hopes won’t be accepting the compensation money. However Tom tells him it’s too late as the offer has already being accepted and no civil action will be launched. Jamie is shocked to find Jean packing bags planning to leave having taken the cheque. Jean tells Terry that she’s taking TJ to the park but jumps in a taxi to the airport. Jamie realises what’s happened and grabs Terry and they race to the airport. Seeing the devastation caused by the Kings, Chas turns up in The Woolpack in tears. Chas relays her fears to Diane about the Kings treatment of the Hopes and admits her own guilt by association. Meanwhile, Diane continues to plan new ideas for the pub and talks about launching a new cocktail. Val remains in a continued state of disbelief over Diane’s behaviour.
