Overview

With his staff on strike, Eric's attempt to meet the huge order deadline single-handedly is doomed to fail. Having spent the entire night in the factory, yet barely making a dent in the order, he feels deflated and defeated. Lisa, however, is doing a stern job at the front of the picket line, making sure no one backs down. Time is ticking away and Eric is all too aware that the time has come for some tough negotiations. Lisa holds her head up high as she leaves the picket line for a showdown with the boss - determined not to let her troops down. Meanwhile, Debbie's adoptive mother Pat is weakening in hospital and has been given only weeks to live.
