Plot
Ryan forges his expenses for £200 and Janice unwittingly signs them. Ryan then pays Dennis back the money he owes him. Sarah gets Audrey to agree to come and look after them so that Gail can have a holiday with Richard. Gail is touched. Peter has a meeting with his accountant and he says that it has gone well. Eve is really worried about Linda. She is convinced that Mike has done something terrible to her. She reports Linda missing to the Police. Eileen orders a crash helmet for Dennis as a surprise present for taking her to Paris. She arranges to have it delivered to the Battersby's.
