Episode 4168 (30th March 1997)

Plot
Mike tries not to worry about the police suspecting him as he knows he's innocent. Gary is annoyed when Judy prefers to spend Easter Day chatting to Joyce's grave at the crematorium than with him. Audrey calls on Alma to offer support over the fire and is thrilled to see the police take Mike in for more questioning. Jim gets fed up with Andy drinking and his aggressive manner. The police keep Mike sweating in the interview room all day before admitting they have no news. Audrey spreads rumours about Mike burning his factory down, upsetting Alma. Maxine gets Ashley to take her to a night club where she orders expensive drinks. She is embarrassed to be seen with him by her friends and passes him off as her cousin. Ashley is furious and walks out on her. Alma tells Mike she thinks he did set fire to the factory but isn't telling her as he thinks she needs protection. He assures her he didn't start the fire and is angry when she doesn't believe him.
