Plot[]
It's the morning of the court hearing. Sarah is worried about making a good impression on the judge and Jack is fretting about arrangements for the day. Viv is twirling around the shop in a pink flamenco style skirt as Bob has called and will be arriving today. Seth meets Zak and Sam in the street. They decide to go fishing first to work up a thirst. Jack and Sarah are waiting in court, the court welfare officer, Louise Patterson, introduces herself and explains what is going to happen. Chris tells Terry to pick Charity up to take her to a restaurant in Harrogate. Eric asks Alan if he's registered his bike yet, Eric offers to help for a price, he has some authentic 1935 plates for a £100, Alan thinks he's being ripped off but Diane doesn't think he has a choice in the matter. Marlon serves Chris his food and ask him for a business meeting, Chris tells Marlon to bring him a business plan and then they might be able to talk, Marlon tells Chris he knows about his involvement with Charity, but Chris gets the better of him by saying that the Dingles wouldn't approve of him going into business with a Tate . Jack and Sarah are seated before the judge. Angie apologises to Ollie for thinking she might have been involved in Seth's mugging and is proud of her for what she did yesterday. Alan tells Eric he has checked and you are not allowed to use plates from an unroadworthy bike, Eric looks miffed that Alan has got the better of him. Viv is anxiously waiting for Bob, who fails to show for their rendezvous. Sarah tells Jack about Robert coming to her about changing his GCSE options, Sarah implies that the reason Robert didn't tell Jack about him coming to see her because he was afraid Jack would hit him again. Chris calls off the date with Charity. Charity demands the money and the slap up meal, so Chris tells Terry to take Charity out for dinner in place of him. The judge sums up, he gives his verdict, Robert can stay with Jack, but in the case of Victoria, her emotional needs would be best served by being with her mother. Sarah thanks the judge, Jack cries.
