Plot[]
Jason tells everyone that he's got a new job working at Q Bar. Kirk and Tyrone call in to see him to be told they've never heard of Jason. Dev finds out from Steve about Vik's drug running. Dev bails Vik out for the last time and buys him a one-way ticket to Mumbai. Vik leaves the street. Mike arrives back from doing some property business in Spain. Joe is in the middle of clinching a big order with Fletchers but Mike wades in and takes over which really annoys Joe. Peter and Shelley start planning their engagement party. Audrey calls on Gail. She is very wary but Audrey apologises telling Gail that she's not been herself. She tells both Gail and Richard that she's been to see a specialist and that they think she has a form of Alzheimer's. Gail is immediately sympathetic. Richard is confused as he knows there's nothing wrong with Audrey but can't say anything. The factory girls are horrible to Angela. Hayley sticks up for her but the other girls can't understand why. Dev tells Steve that the £3,000 that Vik paid him back was actually his money and therefore he considers that he has a financial interest in the firm. Steve and Dev look over the company accounts to find that Vik has cleared out the tax account to the tune of £10,000. Steve is devastated.
