Episode 3240 (8th August 2002)

==Plot==
Tricia's contempt of Rhona is reaching fever pitch and it is starting to cause cracks in her relationship with Marlon. As Rhona celebrates in The Woolpack after hearing she’ll be kept on at the surgery, Tricia can’t hold back any longer and finally unleashes a verbal assault on her rival. The vet is stunned and Marlon is left feeling embarrassed. The tongue-lashing leads to a full-blown row between Tricia and Marlon and, despite his best efforts to calm the situation, things are said that only serve to make matters worse. She is left feeling inadequate and convinced that her fears are completely founded. As the Calders prepare to leave Emmerdale for Scotland, Lucy lets slip to Craig and Maggie about Nicola sleeping with Robert. It proves perfect bait for Maggie to use as she bids farewell to her friends in The Woolpack and makes a loaded comment aloud about Nicola's antics. Nicola responds with force, but Maggie doesn’t take the slap lying down and hits back in triumphant style. Zoe is concerned about Paddy and can’t understand what she has done to upset him. Chris finally convinces him to visit, but Paddy finds the situation uncomfortable and difficult. Paddy apologises but it is clear that things are not the same as they once were between them and Donna is delighted to land a modelling job for a photoshoot.
