Plot
Emily's house is broken into by two thugs who ransack her house, stealing £312 from a sponsored walk fund. Mike is horrified to read Mark's letter that he's left the country. He doesn't understand why he'd run out on him. Linda is stunned when Mike suffers a heart attack in front of her. He is rushed to hospital and is told to look at the attack as an early warning. The thugs break into No. 1 and steal Ken's laptop with the disc containing the final draught of his book. Mark and Craig Brennan fly to Amsterdam. Toyah takes a job working at a radio station over the Summer. Spider and Toyah help Emily clear up the mess in No. 3. She feels violated. The Duckworths, Norris, Tyrone, Maria and the Mallets set off to Blackpool. There's no room for all of them at the Hortons so Norris is forced to sleep in a caravan. Linda manages to phone Mark in Amsterdam and tells him about Mike's attack. She tells him he has to return.
