Plot[]
Emily spends the night downstairs in her armchair, terrified that the burglars will return. On Mark's return, Linda blames him for causing Mike's heart attack by leaving in the way he did. She tells him she was going to tell Mike all about them and accuses him of running out on her. Ken is frustrated that his book on the disc has been stolen. Out of desperation he puts an ad in the Gazette, offering a reward. Mike is pleased when Mark visits him in hospital but demands to know why he left. Mark tells him he just got itchy feet. In Blackpool, Gary saves a young boy, Warren Shipley, who is out of his depth in the sea, but he avoids the attention by not telling anyone. Mike is told to diet and not to work too hard. Linda's determined to make sure he doesn't die. Danny decides to stock burglar alarms, taking advantage of the local burglaries. Spider is concerned as Emily appears vague but she insists she's fine. Mark tells Linda that they must never tell Mike about their affair as it would definitely kill him. He tells her that they're finished.
