==Plot==
Part One: Rishi and Bernice spot Laurel leaving Holdgate Farm early in the morning. Charity is miserable over Mackenzie planning to move to Ibiza. Paddy is suspicious when Vanessa is awkward around Charity. Vanessa confesses to him that she and Charity almost kissed. Mary is concerned about Rhona and advises her to give herself a break from the hospital for a day. Rhona insists Marlon needs her. Marlon is upset as he feels he has made Rhona sad. Vanessa asks Paddy to keep her near miss with Charity to himself. Cathy tries to make it clear to Samson that she's interested in him but he can't get away fast enough. She lies to Amelia afterwards that she and Samson are in a serious relationship. Jai admits to Rishi that Laurel stayed the night but that she was gone when he woke up. He's confused as to where he stands. Charity asks Moira to put her in touch with Mackenzie before he leaves, hoping she can persuade him to come back.
Part Two: Paddy accidentally lets slip to Moira about Charity's 'almost kiss' with Vanessa, thinking she already knew about it. Moira is livid and immediately thinks that Charity's been seeing Vanessa behind Mackenzie's back. Rhona arrives to find Marlon smiling at the video that his friends and family have prepared for him. He admits he misses everyone. Cathy feeds more lies to Amelia saying that Samson was texting her late last night saying he misses her and wishes they could sneak off together. Rhona's pleased to see Marlon has changed his mind about having visitors and doesn't mind if she takes the odd day off from visiting the hospital. He enquires after Paddy. Rhona covers that Paddy might come and visit him when he's less busy with work. Laurel decides to give it another go with Jai but wants to take things slow. Moira confronts Vanessa over her moment with Charity and asks if there is anything going on between them. Vanessa assures there isn't and that it was all just a mistake. As Vanessa goes to drive off, she nearly runs a woman over who appears from nowhere. Jai and Laurel agree to keep their relationship quiet for the time being. Bernice has overheard their conversation and tells Laurel she's thrilled for them after Jai has left. Moira informs Charity that she has decided to let her speak to Mackenzie and has arranged a meet for the two of them. Unbeknownst to Charity, Moira clearly has a plan up her sleeve.
