Plot
Les talks Mr Williams into letting him DJ in return for the rent of the caravan. Alma feels that the cancer scare has given her strength to manage without Mike if she has to. Sarah idolises Toyah and follows her around, borrowing her make-up and copying her vegetarianism. Natalie grows concerned for Jack's health as he suffers more attacks. She feels that she's going to have to find another cellarman. Vera is worried when Jack tells her that he's given up smoking and drinking. She tells him they'll cope, whatever happens. Toyah is frustrated as she can't have time with Owen Williams. Fred shows Ashley his will, saying he inherits everything but Ashley isn't interested. He breaks down and is forced to accept Fred when he tells him that he's proud to be his father. Janice is stunned when Owen kisses her and tells her that he is attracted to her. She doesn't know how to react, especially as she knows Toyah fancies him.
