Episode 2393 (23rd July 1998)

Plot
Lady Tara sets tongues wagging when she turns up for her father's funeral with lover Biff on her arm. In typical fashion Chris ponders what it all means for Home Farm. Zoe is more concerned for Biff after the pain he's suffered following Linda's death, while Lord Michael tries to coerce Kim into helping Tara "see sense". But it is obvious that both Biff and Tara share a deep love, and neither are remotely interested in the gossip they've created. Tara believes that her father would have been proud of the way she conducted herself and tells Biff that without him she could not have got through this terrible time. Mandy is struggling to make her second-hand clothes business a success - and she's being hammered for rent by Eric as well. But Zak and Butch hatch a plot to give Mandy's fortunes a boost - and head off to the holiday village. It's bound to end in disaster! The cat and mouse game between Eric and Kathy continues unabated. With Viv and Vic unable to take over his license because of the original contract he signed - Kathy reiterates her offer is on the table. But Eric throws it back in her face saying he'd rather run the business without a license than hand it to her on the terms she's offering.
