Synopsis[]
There are surprises all round at Emmerdale - good and bad. Young Sandie Merrick has a shocking secret to conceal from her mother - and it takes Dolly's kindly perception to get the truth from the frightened girl. Jack Sugden and Jackie Merrick are still at loggerheads - until the cattle rustlers threaten Emmerdale's valuable livestock, when a surprising alliance is formed. Even Sam Pearson's seed catalogue bears unexpected fruit...
