Vera is fretting about the £20,000 they've lost through Richard and is convinced that Gail must have known what was going on. Jack notices she has started smoking again. Ashley goes back to work and Fred looks after Joshua. Shelley's sister Sharon has taken a turn for the worse. Peter persuades Shelley to go and visit her saying that he will look after the Rovers. Jack and Vera report their lost investments to the police. They explain that Richard insisted that they had to write the cheque out to "Richard Hillman" rather than a company. When DC Brett expresses incredulity that they did such a thing, Jack explains that it's because Gail is an old friend and they trusted her. They realise how naive they've been. Sarah gives Gail a letter from the bank telling her that her account has been frozen. Ken phones Bob Critchley and finds out that Aidan was released on Saturday.
