Kat begins to have second thoughts, a hungover Carol is on the warpath and Les drops a bombshell.
Kat determines to post her letter to Harry鈥檚 solicitor about claiming her inheritance. Mo鈥檚 pleased. Stacey suggests Kat think about it but Kat鈥檚 adamant it鈥檚 the only way she and the boys can have a future. She heads out to work and to buy Tommy more medicine, although Mo remarks he鈥檚 going through it too quickly. On the market, Kat鈥檚 upbeat as she banters with Donna and flogs a new delivery of stock. As she buys stamps from the Minute Mart, Kat boasts about her inheritance but is given food for thought when Shabnam remarks she wants to do something important with her grandmother鈥檚 money as she left it to be part of her future. Kat changes her mind and bins the letter - she wants no future Harry鈥檚 part of.
Returning to the market, Kat鈥檚 horrified to spot her stall鈥檚 been stripped and two men robbing the last of her stock. Fatboy gives chase but they speed off in a van. Donna protests the men said they knew Kat. Aleks unhelpfully points out the insurers won鈥檛 pay out if Kat wasn鈥檛 there and refuses to help. Later, Stacey returns home to find Mo trying to console a devastated Kat, who鈥檚 certain it鈥檚 karma for thinking she could take Harry鈥檚 money when other women suffered for what he did. Later, Stacey finds Kat asleep with Tommy and clocks two empty medicine bottles on the bedside table. Stacey shows Mo, alarmed - she thinks Kat鈥檚 downing Tommy鈥檚 medicine. As Stacey despairs about what to do, Mo secretly takes Kat鈥檚 letter from the bin - they must do what they think is best...
