==Plot==
Mack sows seeds of doubt in Diane’s mind as he makes a sharp exit after their candle lit dinner. Expecting Mack to stay the night Diane settles in for a night on her own worried that she has blown it! After doing a runner from dinner Mack is a little too concerned that Diane's getting to serious. Syd comes up with the perfect distraction suggesting a night out Mack readily accepts. Determined to cheer his mate up Syd invites along Mack's ex-girlfriend - will the old flame be rekindled? Diane is forced to put on a brave face as the foursome drink in The Woolpack, a little too close for comfort for her liking. Making bitchy remarks about Diane, Miranda is doing a great job of rubbing Diane up the wrong way but how long can Diane tolerate her taunts? Unable to distract herself from thinking about Damian in care, Emily is finding it really hard to concentrate on anything else. Viv tries to palm her chocolate stock bill off on Eric, but he is having none of it. Feeling compelled to stick up for the children Emily is riled by Eric's selfishness. Viv is surprised by Emily's sudden interest in children. Zoe’s behaviour appears to be hot gossip in the village much to Chris’s upset. Concerned about her drinking Chris is determined to get to the bottom of Zoe's behaviour.
