Episode 3115 (18th February 2002)

==Plot==
After weeks of mental torture following the birth of her baby daughter, things finally come to a head for Bernice in dramatic fashion. Fraught and at the end of her tether, she finally throws the towel in and declares that she can't take motherhood a day longer. She pleads with her mother, Diane, to collect her belongings from the vicarage - but not baby Gabby. But Diane has heard enough and tries to slap some sense into Bernice - literally. When this fails, Diane calls up Rodney and insists he comes over to try and help resolve the situation. Ashley follows suit and arrives as Rodney and Diane are giving Bernice a brutal tongue-lashing. Ashley is still confused by his wife's actions and convinced that he is the one to blame, while Rodney and Diane start questioning why they hadn't spotted their daughter's problems earlier. But will it all prove to be the undoing of Bernice or will the short sharp shock treatment have the desired effect?
