He's happy when Eric tries to let him go, but overworked Dee insists he stay. Lisa sees Zak trying to flirt with Becky, telling her she is more feminine than Lisa. Mandy tries to encourage her, but does say she needs a better wardrobe. Tara is recovering from a concussion and a fractured wrist after her falling from her horse.
