Plot[]
Mike discovers the factory has been broken into. Wally persuades Tracy to spend the day with him. She agrees. Emma dumps Ben on Claire as she has an urgent meeting. The police question Mike, Joe, Karen and Harry. Harry explains how he came back to the factory to get his wallet. Mike accuses him of not resetting the alarm and sacks him. Harry is very upset. Jack receives a letter from the allotment society complaining about the state of his patch. He considers giving up the site but Fiz volunteers herself, Tyrone and Kirk to help maintain the upkeep. Deirdre rings Tracy and realises from the sound of the pool in the background where she is. She gets Archie to take her there and she and Tracy fight, falling into the pool as they do so. Joan Bannister arrives on the scene. She is Wally's wife and he is the gardener there. They are looking after the house for the owners who are away in Zambia. A furious Tracy lashes out at Wally. Joe takes Mike to a deserted warehouse pretending that this is Artrec's address. They speak to a bogus security guard, Joe's friend Frank Marsden, who tells them that a textile company disappeared from the unit few days ago. He describes the owner as an Asian bloke with goatee beard. Mike immediately suspects that Naveen Alahan is behind the whole scam.
