Anthony Mortimer goes to the garage to see Stan. "What do you want?" asks Stan. Anthony tells him that he
and Jill are taking Sarah Jane to America. "I'm taking Jill with me for one reason, and it's selfish. I love her,"
says Anthony. "You should have taken up demolition as a career. You'd have made millions," says Stan.

Stan Harvey goes home to Chimney's and asks Ingrid Larson if there have been any phone calls or letters. Stan tells
her that he has lost Sarah Jane and Jill but he doesn't feel anything. Ingrid tells him that it will probably hit him
later. "You know about these things do you?" asks Stan. Stan says Anthony Mortimer doesn't look the type to settle
down.
Jane Smith and Lucy Hamilton go to the cinema and then to the Motel for coffee afterwards. Lucy realises she has
missed her last bus home and asks Jane if she could stay at her flat for tonight. Lucy telephones her mother and explains
the situation. Kate asks to speak to Jane but Lucy says she is calling from a payphone. Just at that moment the
pips go and the phone goes dead.
At the cottage Rick Hamilton asks Kate who was on the phone and Kate tells him that it was Lucy phoning to say that she
has missed her last bus home so will be staying at Jane Smith's. Rick watches as Kate goes upstairs.

Sharon tells Stan that Ferguson's want to make an appointment to see him. Stan tells her that the acting manager
will have to sort that out. Sharon asks Stan if he has considered Jim for the job as acting manager and Stan tells her
that he has already written to Dudley Scrivens so it is out of his hands now.
At the cottage Rick Hamilton takes Kate around the waist but she breaks free. She says they have been separated
for too long.
Stan shows Ingrid Larson a letter from his solicitors saying that it isn't a good idea for them both to be living in
the same house. Ingrid says she will move out if he wants her to, but Stan says it isn't worth it now because he will
be in Germany for three months.
Lucy arrives back at the cottage and asks her mother what she and her father did last night. Kate says they talked.
"You must have stayed up late," says Lucy. "You arranged that didn't you?" asks Kate. "What?" asks Lucy innocently.
"You really are becoming a little monster," says Kate. "That's unfair. If you don't believe me ask Jane," says
Lucy.
Sandy Richardson phones Mr Baxter and invites him and Mrs Baxter to the motel as his guests so that they can get to know
each other better. Mr Baxter tells him that he will have to speak to his wife first and will phone him back later.
Kate Hamilton warns Lucy not to get any ideas about her and Rick. She says they have been divorced too long to
let one evening reminiscing make any difference.
Sandy tells Lynne that her parents are coming to the motel for a few days and he might be able to persuade them that
he isn't such a dead loss after all.
At Chimney's Stan Harvey opens his heart to Ingrid Larson. He says he never wanted a posh house. "It
was what Jill wanted, so I had it," he says. "You still love her don't you," says Ingrid. Stan kisses her.
"See how easy it is. If you love her, tell her," says Ingrid.
