Plot
Gary and Judy urge Ashley to tell the police about Zoe being lured away by the Etheric Foundation. Martin asks Janice to tell Les to admit that he's lying before Martin loses his job. She tells him it's time he admitted he made a mistake and almost killed Les. Sally offers Mike her stock at what he considers a good price. She asks for £2,500 but he offers only £500; Sally decides to rent a market stall to sell knickers. Greg arranges a meeting between Les and solicitor Neville Green. Ashley and Gary go to the police, who already know about Nirab. The police officer tells them it's a con to lure young people away but admit they can't do anything about it. Jackie follows Tyrone into No.7 and takes the keys from him. Neville takes Les's case on the understanding that he plays up for the courts and they'll get a bundle of compensation. Ashley decides to snatch Zoe back.
