Legal-eagle Laura shows Lady Tara exactly why she's worth £150 an hour, she knows that to make the asset-stripping of Home Farm go smoothly she needs to get Chris on-side. Initially Chris seemed as if he'd joined forces with his sister Zoe try to protect the business built-up by their father, But with a little smooth talking and a salary increase he's soon eating out of her hand. Lyn forces her mother Heather to follow Kirsty when she rushes out after a meal. Heather is shocked to see her daughter being sick behind the village hall. Eric loses his final gamble to save his business when magistrates strip him of his license. He looks a forlorn figure as he writes a sign saying that the wine bar is now closed. Eric later tells Kathy to get her solicitor to draw up the transfer of the business - she's won!
