Episode 5783 (16th June 2004)

Plot
Shelley and Charlie are in a good mood after a night of passion. Dev finds out that not all his medical results had come through. He's devastated to learn he has suspected bowel cancer. He can't bring himself to tell Maya. Vera explains her exercise bike plan to Jack. She wants him to ride the equivalent distance to Cleethorpes (where they had their honeymoon) and back. Under pressure Jack agrees to try. Both Tracy and Roy receive their Decree Absolutes and they're now divorced. Norris arranges a séance in the Kabin to exorcise the ghost of Vera Lomax. He enlists the help of Rita, Betty and Blanche. Dev confides in Sunita about his possible cancer. Sunita comforts him. Hayley's delighted when Roy surprises her with a candlelit dinner to celebrate his divorce from Tracy. The seance takes place, the candles flicker and a box leaps off the top shelf. Norris runs from the room and even sceptical Rita is unnerved. Dev tries to find the right moment to tell Maya about his possible illness, but is thwarted by her happy news that she's got a new job. The true gravity of Dev's news sinks in and Sunita collapses in floods of tears.
