Plot
Terry is over the moon at the thought of TJ’s return and busily prepares for his arrival, setting up play equipment in the garden and blowing up balloons to welcome him home. When Dawn walks through the door on her own, Terry is livid and is not interested in her explanation. She tells him that TJ was not well enough to travel and has stayed behind with her mum. Dawn later confides in her dad that she plans to move Spain permanently. Bob can’t believe his ears, but agrees to promise not to tell Terry about her plans. Lisa helps Sam prepare for prison by demonstrating the art of self-defence on Shadrach. Later, Cain gets more than he bargained for when Sam thinks he is about to hit him and Sam puts what he's learned to good use. After going to court to see Sam get sent down for four months, the Dingles mope in The Woolpack. When Zak walks through the door he is surprised to find his family so downcast. He is upset when he realises what has happened and he’s not been able to give Sam any moral support. Cain, putting his family first for once, comes up with a plan to help Zak see Sam before he goes to prison. With Andy’s help the Dingles create a roadblock that will stop that prison van in its tracks. While the prison guards wait for Andy to shift his ‘broken down’ tractor, Zak shouts to Sam through the window. Andy later confesses to Cain that if the farm doesn’t start making some money soon they will all be homeless. Steph’s plans to make designer handbags at the factory continue apace and she sets about completely reorganising the place and giving Eric a hard time about time and motion. Annoyed that Alan has left Laurel in charge of the B&B instead of her, Steph gives Laurel a hard time and makes her do most of the donkeywork.
