Plot[]
Alec advertises the Las Vegas raffle, saying the proceeds will go to the hospital. He explains to Jack that he intends to take £500 and give the rest away. Alma feels worthless. Deirdre hears about the raffle and is furious with Alec. She warns him that if anything goes wrong she won't bail him out. Maureen feels that life with Bill is boring as he's too homely. Martin hears that Don has been transferred to a mental hospital. Mike is angry as it means he won't face trial. Alma is relieved as she won't have to give evidence. Samantha and Jim enjoy themselves bowling but he still doesn't know what she wants from him. Emily is surprised to hear that the hospital is having a raffle as they normally go through her for them. She is suspicious when she discovers Alec is behind the raffle.
