evictions of Zack and Ned. She asks why Zoe didn't warn them. Zoe

have been told. Betty tells her that she is 'nowt but show'.

finish it with Tara just because people are upset. Biff says that its
not that. Will asks if he loves her and says that if he does then he
should stand by her. Jack comes in, asks Biff why he isn't out doing

like she is in Texas.

job at the pub for a job with better hours so she can spend more time
with Lynn and Kirsty. When asked about Terry she answers 'New home, new
start'.

lamenting that she could lose him over this. She tells Laura that it
was bad enough evicting his friends but getting him to deliver the
notices. Laura and Chris tell her that the for sale signs are going
up. Kim bursts in angry about the stud. Chris starts gloating. Kim
asks if she is doing it because Chris asked her too. tara says its
because of the financial situation that she is in. Kim reminds her that

comes in and wants a private word with Alan but he claims he is too
busy. Zak comes in with Lisa talking about how the Dingles are doomed,
he comments on Biff showing his face in the pub. Lynn comes over and

had was fun but it wasn't going anywhere. She tells him that they are
moving out tomorrow.

Sarah are worried about her. Emma tells him that she is lonely and that
she misses Action Drone and Becky more that she thought she would.
There is nothing to keep her here anymore and she misses having Will
about. Will offers to walk her home and Emma tells him about Robert and
Andy's crush on her. As they are leaving the cottage they bang into
Tara who asks if Biff is in. Will goes and shouts him and leaves Tara
at the door. She asks if she can come in, to talk. She tells him how
she has been trying to get hold of him and how everyone has been coming
round to have a go at her. He has little sympathy. She tells him she
needs the money but he questions that, when has she ever really needed
money. Betty and Seth need money to keep a room over their heads. She
tells him that she would do anything to be with him. He asks her to
give Betty and Seth their house back. She can't. He tells her that she
can't care for him as she has been sending him out delivering the
letters. She tells him that he is the most important person in her
life, she needs him and she loves him. He can't reject her. Biff puts
his arms round her.

for Emma at the new Diner. Betty is telling Kathy how she wishes Seth
was here to deal with all of this. Viv is gloating over Kim and Steve
at the bar, commenting on how Tara must be having 'money trouble'. When
people don;t have money they are powerless. The bloke from aerobics
(Graham) comes in and Rachel and Kathy are weighing him up.
Cottage
Biff states again that if Tara really loved him then she would give
Betty and Seth their house back. Tara tells him that if she makes one
exception then there would be streams of people wanting the same. He
repeats himself that if she really loved him she would do this for him,
no matter how hard it was. She says that she can't. Biff gets up and
tells her to go. She says she loves him. Biff tells her she doesn't
and says that they are finished and he doesn't want to see her again.
