Ashley is beginning to feel manipulated by Bernice as his child raising duties are ever increasing and second to Bernice's needs. In the Woolpack, tempers flare between Nicola and Rodney, and as Bernice tries to defuse the situation, Nicola rounds on her and Bernice receives a slap across the face for her troubles. Bernice decides to use the assault to obtain the attention she needs from Ashley. Ashley once again is drawn in by Bernice's emotional plea. Despite this, after a talk with Marlon, he decides enough is enough and tells Bernice that he wants a quick divorce. Meanwhile, Viv is losing her grip, as she tries to exercise her authority over the builders without much avail, they ignore her orders and disappear into the Woolpack. It appears that Louise has taken a shine to Ray, as she volunteers to accompany him on any future lonely and boring business trips he may have lined up.
