==Plot==
Part One: News has started to spread around the village of Marlon's stroke. Back in hospital, he awaits his surgery. Charity struggles to hold it together enough to keep the pub open and wishes Chas was there to help.  Moira tries to call Cain to inform him of the news but he has been out with Kyle all day and left his phone behind. Cain arrives back at Keepers Cottage to drop Kyle off where Amy delivers the news and allows him to stay to read Kyle a story and put him to bed. Manpreet arrives at the Hide as Liam and Leyla are there on a date night. Liam invites Manpreet to join them but she makes her excuses and leaves. April insists on going to the hospital when she overhears Mary and Paddy talking about Marlon's surgery. Laurel accuses Rishi of emotional blackmail when he arrives to try and persuade her to get back together with Jai. April goes to see Marlon and, fearing she'll lose him, tries to tell him how much he means to her.
Part Two: Rhona, Mary and April wait at the hospital as Marlon undergoes his surgery. Mary tries to get April to go home but she won't budge. Chas helps Charity with a tricky beer pump at the pub. Jai tries to comfort Laurel as she discusses speaking with Marlon earlier in the day. She asks Jai to look after Arthur and Dotty while she goes to the pub to see if there's any news. Arthur pops down to see Jai after Laurel has gone. Liam is shocked when Manpreet tells him she's decided not to testify against Meena. Lydia encourages Charity to make amends with Chas. Cain worries to Moira about Marlon, mentioning the surgery is similar to what he underwent for his aneurysm. Paddy loses his temper with Bear when he talks about a friend he knew who had a stroke and was never the same afterwards. Rhona, April and Mary are told that Marlon's surgery has gone well but that he still has a long journey ahead of him. April is scared at the thought of him. Mary insists that she and Rhona will always be there for her no matter what happens.
