4951: Martha decides to run for council

Martha shows Hugo another threatening note they've received about Hugo's plans to sink his yacht to create a dive site. While Martha is keen to fight fire with fire, Hugo isn't so sure. Martha confronts John Palmer about the threats towards Hugo and urges him to back off, but John is adamant that he isn't involved and is only following the public's wishes to oppose the sinking of the yacht.

Later, Hugo tells Martha that he just wants everything to end and he's going to sell the boast instead. When Martha receives a call from an interested buyer, she tells them the boat isn't for sale. A brick is then hurled through the window. After lodging a police report, Martha confronts John once again, but this time she shocks him by announcing that she's going to run against him in the council elections.
