Plot

Kathy is furious with Marlon for making changes to the diner while she's been on holiday. When she discovers he's even made new appointments she loses her temper completely and sacks him. And just when she thought things couldn't get worse she's shaken to the core when Alice's estranged mum Elsa turns up on the doorstep. Kelly gives Scott a piece of her mind - but try as he might, he cannot find a way to pay back the money he owes her. Mandy is released from jail and summons Zak to see how they are going to repay Angie for putting her inside. For once Zak is lost for words and appears sheepish. And Chris is horrified to find the tires on his car slashed.
