When Lachlan doesn't comply, Gerry demands £1,000, reminding Lachlan he knows his secrets. Marlon is delighted to receive fifteen swipes on a dating app and hopes to go on a double date with Paddy but no one on the dating app has shown any interest in Paddy. Marlon realises he'll need to find Paddy a date. Jimmy is fed of up of Laurel being the third wheel in his marriage so when Laurel knocks at the front door, he and Nicola hide. Laurel looks through the window and is hurt to see her friends lying on the floor hiding from her. Nicola feels awful for hiding from Laurel and decides to invite her round for dinner. Upon hearing that Kerry can't work the tanning machine, Chrissie offers to help her out. Jimmy and Nicola invite Laurel round for dinner but Laurel refuses and asks them to leave, revealing she saw them hiding earlier. Marlon and Vanessa set Paddy and Bernice up on a date. Bernice believes she's there to counsel Paddy whilst Paddy believes Bernice is looking to buy a horse. They soon realise they've been set up. Lawrence tells Robert that Lachlan suspects something is up so he asks Robert to keep his distance. Emma approaches Gabby and Arthur as they are leaving the café and makes small talk. Gabby reveals she knows about the videos and orders Emma to stay away from her and her family. Bernice and Paddy pretend they are about to kiss as Marlon and Vanessa watch on. Paddy and Bernice insists they aren't compatible. Paddy decides to prove Marlon wrong by getting himself a date by tomorrow. At Mulberry Cottage, Gabby can see there's something up with Laurel and believes it's something to do with Emma. Laurel insists if she could go back, she'd keep Emma away from Ashley, explaining everything has gone wrong since Ashley died and seeing Emma everyday makes things worse. Gabby comforts Laurel.
