Summary With the cash turned to ash Anne Marie gleefully tells the girls that her mother was all set to sell to Euan. A bank loan application and attempted hold-up come to nothing, so Ellie, feeling Sadie's lack of security was responsible for the fire, steals back the money, unaware that Sadie is hoping to buy a flat with it. Ellie stalls her by impersonating Anne Marie and telling the estate agent that her 'mother' is a drunk and a penniless fantasist, and this works. Sadie turns on Anne Marie and bonds with Ellie. Shoo flees to Glasgow to meet Nathan, her boyfriend, but she creams him after he has tried to rob her and hot-foots it back to Hope Springs. Unfortunately Nathan rings Lagden's hit-man Nathan to disclose her whereabouts. The hotel bar flourishes, as does Ellie's friendship with Gil, but she is intrigued by his interest in the recently disappeared brother of barman Dean McKenzie. Is it connected with a body hidden under the floor-boards in the hotel?
