Julie S, after having her mastectomy, decided to return to Larkhall for the duration of her recovery so that she could be with her friends. Yvonne sent Lauren to lok around Colin's flat... but what did Lauren find?! Sylvia returned from holidays and, as usual, seemed delighted to be back. Yvonne told Karen that in return for her parole and enhanced status, she would stop the other girls harming Snowball... but has she got an ulterior motive? Snowball was finally reunited with Ritchie...

The fallout from Snowball's suicide begins, with both Jim and Karen finding themselves in a precarious position. Jim gives Tina a camera. Neil bribes Di with a wing-governor's job in order for her to keep the baby. Julie S returns from hospital and is eventually cheered up by the party that her friends have organised. Yvonne believes Colin, regarding the woman in his bed, and they kiss.. only to be captured on camera by Tina! Neil told Karen what we'd all been dreading... ""You're Sacked!""
