Episode 2754 (28th September 2000)

==Plot==
Paddy opens the door to find Mandy there and he slams the door in her face. She pleads with him to let her in. Paddy won't even look at her. He doesn't understand how she can be the same person after what she's done, he tells her she's not the woman he married, he'd prefer it if she died. She tells him that Neil was Caleb's carer, she never mentioned him because there was nothing to tell and assures him she never lied about her Caleb's illness. Mandy opens up to Paddy. She confides him about losing her virginity, she says every relationship she's ever had has ended up with her being humiliated somewhere along the line so she knows how he feels. Both are left crying uncontrollably. Mandy avers that she slept with Neil once on the night Paddy came down to Southampton. Mandy pushes Paddy to swear on her life that he wouldn't have done the same thing if it was Barbara, she pushes him so far that he grabs her and screams that he would never betray her and that he hates her. Mandy goes to get her stuff and Paddy decides otherwise and asks her to stay. He wants to forgive her. Later, the two emerge from the bedroom in a clinch, acting like nothing has happened. The atmosphere soon changes. Paddy tells her she can't feel the same way about him as he does about her; it's written all over her face that she loves Neil, it was guilt that made her come back to him. Paddy decides he can't put Neil behind him. He tells her to catch a train. Mandy cries, picks up the ring, throws her house keys on to the table, takes a last look around and leaves Emmerdale. As she does so, Paddy's weeps from the kitchen.
