Plot
Nervous Sarah returns to school. Rebecca assures Martin she'll carry on waiting for him. Mark is annoyed to hear Mike and Linda have named the day. Sarah is called names at school and blames Candice for telling people. Candice proves her worth by sticking up for her. Geena gets sick of Les pestering her for racing tips and leads him on over another horse. Fred is triumphant to hear the body is a recent murder and not linked to his Grandfather. Audrey urges Gail not to make Sarah have the baby adopted, telling her of the pain she felt in giving Stephen Reid up. Janice asks Geena to put a stop to Les' gambling before he loses any more money. Mark and Linda are both horrified when Mike asks him to be his best man. Mark is forced to agree.
