==Plot==
Marlon notices that Donna is under pressure, despite her protestations. Not wanting his wife to abandon her career, he secretly invites the social worker round to discuss the kids. Donna implores Marlon to keep the children, but he disagrees. She is crushed and blames Marlon for everything. Also, Perdy investigates Rosemary’s financial status when the latter tries to hire her former maid at Home Farm. Rosemary dismisses her questions but Grayson is far more forthcoming. Meanwhile, Jack struggles to contain his errant wife and demands an explanation. Diane explains that she's decided to live life to the full after her problems in the last few years. Full of remorse, Jack has no counter argument and offers Diane an apology.
