Sam talks to the chickens, like you do, and tells them that they’re moving to Norfolk and he promises them that they’ll be happy there.



Meanwhile, it’s Zak’s big day as he and his family celebrate his birthday. Lisa pulls Sam aside in the celebrations and tells him that she’s been thinking about his situation with Alice and says that he should ‘do whatever is best for you’. Sam looks confused, as always, and hands Zak some maggots, for his birthday.



Zak decides to take Sam fishing, like they always used to. But he makes Sam feel guilty for wanting to move to Norfolk. Just like old times’ sake, they get caught by the gamekeeper and a chase ensues. The two laugh their socks off and Sam realises that his father needs him.



Alice is waiting for Sam when he returns and they have a chat. He tells her that his Dad needs him in Beckindale. Instead of making Sam guilty, she simply says, ‘Well we haven’t got much time left then,’ as they vow to make the most of her last evening.



It’s a case of same old, same old as Charity and Cain have yet another argument. Debbie is still believing everything Cain has to say about the matter and refuses to even acknowledge Charity.

At a lost as to what she can do, she heads to the Woolpack, where she spots a downbeat Jimmy sulking over a pint of beer. Charity instantly sets about forming an alliance with him and tells him he should ‘make sure you watch your back’. She’s playing on his vulnerable side and you can sense it’s only a matter of time before he’s putty in the girl’s hand!

Meanwhile, after his night of cooking butt naked, Pollard and Val are full of lovey dovey sayings to each other as they affirm their affections. He must have come up trumps with his hot pot the previous evening!



Cain drops by to give Zak a present. Zak tells him that if he hadn’t ruined Charity’s wedding to Tom they would all be a bit better off now. Cain, as expected, says it wasn't his fault.



Lisa has a talk with Zak and tells him that Sam is only staying for him, not for himself. Zak tells her that Sam couldn’t cope on his own, and that he needs his Dad. ‘I think he needs Alice more,’ says Lisa, but Zak replies, ‘I can’t lose Sammy, he’s my boy,’ and then he breaks down and cries. Well it’s not often you see a dingle cry!



Having spent their last evening together, Sam walks Alice to the bus station for an emotional goodbye. She tells him, ‘I’ve loved every minute of our time we’ve spent together. When I think of you, I’ll be smiling.’ She then tells him to ‘look after your girls’, meaning the chickens, but he says, ‘You’re my girl.’ And if that doesn’t leave you with a tear in your eye, nothing will!
