Plot

Cain and Sam break into Tate Haulage only to have their revenge plans interrupted by Sean and Emily who arrive unexpectedly. A fight ensues and Sean is knocked out. Ned asks Roy if he will return to Ibiza with him as he is going back today, but Roy says his home is here. Ned accepts, and says goodbye to him. Marlon desperately tries to find someone to cover him as The Woolpack chef so that he can take Tricia on holiday. As Tricia prepares herself to be disappointed Carlos steps forward and saves the day. Meanwhile, Bernice is less than thrilled to discover Tricia's replacement - Jason! Frankie frets about Tara's missing car and is just about to tell her when Zoe reveals she took it as a joke.
