: 24, 2003

Fred and Ashley have a heart-to-heart. Fred explains how he was disappointed to learn that Joshua isn't a blood relation but he also knows that he can still love Joshua. Ashley forgives him and they make up. Karen compliments Gail on her new bracelet, but later Gail is visibly concerned when she overhears Steve telling Karen that the bracelet she's wearing wasn't bought for her by Richard - it had belonged to a potential client and was found on building site at the flats. Gail begins to get a bad feeling, and when Ashley walks into the bar while Richard is making a speech, Gail sees the look of guilt on her husband's face. As the pieces start to fall into place, Gail leaves the party without a word and goes home where she looks through the medicine cupboard for the Diazepam tablets. Richard walks in on her. She asks Richard outright if he murdered Maxine and he confesses that he did.
