Plot
Wasting little time, Sadie impresses Matthew when she reveals she has already put a plan into action regarding Tom’s retirement. Sadie surprises Tom with a visit from his old pal Roger’s widow, Helen Dyson. Sadie's plan works when Helen suggests Tom enjoy his retirement, reminding him his wife would have wanted him to enjoy his twilight years. Tom agonises over his future and what it means for the business. Meanwhile, Ashley reluctantly allows Jasmine to spend time with Sandy, but is later furious when he finds them in the pub, wrongly assuming that Sandy has bought the underage girl alcohol. Jasmine is sick of all the arguing and vows to get to the bottom of it. Elsewhere, Paddy is envious of Hari’s affect on women, and Scott continues to cause tension between Dawn and Danny.
