Episode 340 (1st March 1977)

Plot
Word starts to spread that Joe and Kathy are shacking up together. Wilks is upset that Joe didn't tell him that Kathy was moving in with him because he loaned him the money to buy the house. He is quickly put in his place by Annie though who reminds him that the loan was a straight business arrangement. Sam has gone missing but is eventually found by Rev Hockley who invites him into the vicarage to spend the night. Sam tells him of his feelings about what Kathy and Joe have done. Hockley rings Annie to tell her where Sam is and that he won't be coming home and why but then Matt points out that now that Joe isn't living at the farm now so there is no reason for him to stay away.
