Plot[]
Charity is convinced that Zoe knows more than she is letting on and is determined to get her to admit the truth about Chris's death, however grieving Zoe remains stubborn and unforgiving. Despite a warning from her solicitor not to interfere with witnesses, Charity is desperate to uncover the truth. She makes things worse by visiting Zoe at Home Farm, pleading with her to confess to the police. After a heated argument Zoe refuses to back down; loyal to her brother, she is determined to follow through on his dying wish and see Charity go down. Gloria blows her chances of a speedy reconciliation with Eric after a plan to name and shame Steph backfires. Having established Steph's criminal record Gloria calls in a favour to obtain a copy of the jailbird's police mugshot. A few photocopies later, Steph finds her visage plastered across the village. With no alternative but to come clean to her employer, humiliated Steph sheepishly admits that she's served time in prison. Eric is sympathetic to Steph and can’t believe that his jealous wife could stoop so low. He tells Gloria that he was close to giving her another chance but now realises that she's an embittered scheming wretch! Elsewhere in the village, Zak is in the doghouse after a bout of jealousy causes him to destroy Belle’s ballet shoes. Lisa insists that Eric's present to Belle was purely in friendship and is infuriated by her husband's destructive actions. Zak redeems himself by returning home with a more expensive pair of shoes from a shop in Hotten, although he later admits to stealing them. Alan is perturbed to hear that the film crew scheduled to stay in the village will be filming a documentary covering the ten year anniversary of the plane crash.
