Di gleefully hands out her wedding invitations. Hollamby is made up when she receives her own invitation but quickly becomes anxious about finding someone to accompany her. There is really only one man on her list—Dr Nicholson—but so far, he is proving immune to her rather obvious attempts at flirting. At least Tina’s love life seems to be flourishing. She’s succeeding in her attempts to get closer to maintenance man, Ben, and, after ignoring Julie S’s warnings about him only being out for what he can get, she throws herself at him in the laundry room.

Phyl and Bev are still recovering on the hospital wing from their bout of self-induced oxalic poisoning. Frances goes to visit them and asks for information regarding Natalie’s involvement in Al’s death. Both insist they will stay tight-lipped unless Frances can guarantee them special privileges and protection. Refusing to be manipulated, Frances orders them both back onto the wing. Realising that they need to get to Natalie before she gets to them, they start thinking of a way to pin Al’s death on her without incriminating themselves.

Although Rob is sure that there’s more to Karen’s case than meets the eye, he can’t argue with the fact that the eyewitnesses to the hit-and-run are adamant that it was Karen they saw driving the car. Then there’s also the fact that the CCTV footage clearly shows a blonde woman behind the wheel. Depressed when Rob admits defeat, Karen hits the bottle.

Kris is inconsolable when she is told that Milly’s dead body has been found in the canal and makes it clear to Selena that she holds her solely responsible. She’s convinced that Milly would still be alive if Selena hadn’t put so much pressure on her. Angry and grief-stricken, she tells Selena that it’s all over between them. Unusually, the news that she is to be transferred out of Larkhall doesn’t seem to faze Kris. But all becomes clear when she contacts Terry, one of the drivers she used to work with, and asks him for a favour. The next day, it quickly becomes clear what that favour is when the van she is travelling in is forced to swerve to avoid a truck. After the van crashes, Kris climbs through the smashed rear window and makes her escape in the back of a waiting taxi.

Karen wakes with a hangover after a night of drinking whisky and watching CCTV tapes. She inserts another tape into her VCR and leaves it to play while she takes a shower. When she returns, she sees a man running away from her abandoned car. For a brief moment, his face is illuminated by a nearby streetlight. For Karen, there is only one man it can be…Fenner.
