Plot
The police ask Alan to identify Shelley’s suitcase and belongings. He is adamant that they have no proof Shelley is dead but they tell him her bank account hasn’t been touched for 18 months. Horrified, Alan emotionally asks Steph if she killed Shelly. Elsewhere, Marlon and Donna’s chicken pox party is a big success. Exhausted they crash out on the sofa and Donna suggests it won’t be long until they have children of their own. Meanwhile, Edna tells Rosemary they should try to get along for Tom’s sake and invites her for lunch at the cafe. Over lunch Rosemary takes great pleasure in telling Edna the building work could take months and she could be staying at Home Farm for some time.
