Jim's past catches up with him and Gemma's accident has devastating consequences.

Melanie has to choose between Simon and Joe. Adam leaves Ramsay Street to be with Gemma, and Harold is suspected of being a drug-runner thanks to Joe and Doug's prank. Joe asks Melanie to marry him, and Madge's dream holiday turns into a nightmare.

The search for Harold intensifies with the sea rescue services brought in to help. Brenda's big mouth could prove disastrous for Dorothy, and Pam's fashion ideas for Brad don't meet with his approval.

Helen breaks some bad news to the residents of Ramsay Street, and Brad attempts to rid himself of his unwanted jacket. Joe and Melanie worry about Toby, while Felicity Brent attempts to dash Dorothy's hopes of political success.

The day of the council election arrives, but Dorothy is less than positive of a victory. Glen plays emotional games with Gaby, and Helen and Joe join Madge for Harold's memorial service. Jim is lulled into a false sense of hope by Glen and Paul.
