5801: Kate finally stands up to Amanda

Dan believes the bottle in his locker isn’t Declan’s but urges him to give the culprit up. Knowing how much trouble it will mean for Harry, Declan pretends he doesn’t know who framed him.

However, when Harry overhears just how much trouble Declan is likely to get into, he realises he’s made a terrible mistake. He apologises and promises to make things right but while he’s figuring out what to do, Dan warns Declan he’ll have to cancel the Deb unless the smuggler is found.

To protect his friends’ special night, Declan returns to Dan and claims the bottle was his all along. However, he’s too late. Harry has already confessed.

The news that Harry has been suspended and the DHS will be called does nothing to improve Kate’s day. Off her experience with Saffron, Donna understands her reluctance to go to the Deb and face Jason Coleman again but Amanda isn’t as generous. She even turns her attentions to Donna and starts spreading nasty rumours about Kate’s best friend.

Kate sucks it up until Harry breaks his bad news. Furious with him for putting their family at risk of being split up, Kate heads to Harold’s to cool off, only to end up on the receiving end of more taunts from Amanda.

Fired-up Kate finally stands up for herself and tells Amanda she’s not a chicken. She’ll be at that Deb and she’ll face Jason Coleman.

Lyn’s having trouble with the wiring at Harold’s Store but refuses to admit she needs Lou’s help. With Kate’s assistance she manages to figure out a few tricks to stop the circuits overloading… but has she solved the problem?
