==Plot==
Shelley admits to Alan that she wants to go to Spain, but he tells her he can’t leave Steph alone. Shelly remains adamant that she's going regardless, telling him that he must choose between her and his daughter. Andy promises Libby that he will look after her horse but panics when he notices a rusty nail embedded in its hoof. Andy calls for a vet but when Max turns up the rivalry between them is instantly apparent. Eric is mad when Val gets top billing in the newspaper and panics when Glynis questions his relationship with Val. Eric is all too aware of what a loose cannon Val can be and worries about what she might say.
