PlotEdit

Hilda hands the briefcase in to Bet. Brian uses the van so Kevin can't use it to take Michelle out. He is impressed when Michelle uses her mother's car to take him out. Det Constable Meadows tells Bet that Don Ashton is dead after driving his car into the canal whilst drunk. Bet puts him onto Mike and gives him Don's briefcase. Mike is horrified at Don's death and tries to find out if he put the order in before he died. Ivy tells George that she's not looking forward to going away with the Duckworths. He invites her to go on holiday with him. Michelle and Kevin get lost in a country lane but don't care. Mike tells Emily that the order didn't go through; he has nothing on paper to prove the money isn't his. Hilda tells him that Don left his briefcase behind.
