Dawn celebrates!

It’s celebration time for Dawn as she passes her driving test, and heads to the pub for congratulatory drinks. When Jo arrives to join in the fun, she brings two letters for Dawn. One is an offer of a place on the college course she’s been aiming for and Dawn’s delighted.

But the other is from the DHSS letting Dawn know she is being investigated for fraud. Bob tells his daughter not to worry but Jo – thinking out loud – says with all the jobs Dawn has on the side, perhaps she’s in trouble.

Kelly catches Scott and quizzes him about what he’s done – Scott says he reported Dawn ages ago because he was angry with her, but now he regrets it. Kelly says it’s too late for him to be sorry, and she just hopes Dawn doesn’t find out who shopped her.

Dawn wants revenge!

The next day, Dawn’s nervous as she attends her fraud interview and discovers the investigator is Philippa Reed. She tells Dawn someone reported her and Dawn’s fuming.

But as Philippa produces video recordings and print-outs of Dawn’s bank statements, things start to look bleak.

Meanwhile, another officer is quizzing Ashley and Viv, and gathering evidence, and Dawn’s shocked to discover she could end up with a custodial sentence.

Back in the village she’s determined to find out who shopped her, and Kelly’s her first suspect. When it seems Kelly’s hiding something, Dawn’s on to her and Bob has to hold her back!

Kelly’s furious with Scott and when he says he had no idea things would get this serious, points out that even he can’t be that stupid.
