==Plot==
Doug warns Charlie to keep away from Diane, claiming that she's not interested in him. However, when Diane hears about Doug's claims, she resolves to tell him the truth. Unaware of her intentions, Doug prepares a romantic meal. Over lunch, Doug opens up and finally confesses that he's fallen for her and hopes they have a future together. Despite his revelation, Doug's left reeling when halfway through their meal, Diane proclaims that they could never be more than friends. A crushed Doug storms out, expressing his belief that he was merely her backup option until somebody better came along. Aaron's horrified when Chas shows him the newspaper article about his court case. He's anxious when he realises that everyone knows his secret. Later, Chas and Paddy are pleased when Aaron resolves that he wants nothing to change in his life. With that, Aaron reveals that he intends to return to work the following day. Andy's unconvinced by Eve's insistence that her flirting with John is harmless. John's later drawn in by Eve and confides that Holly's mixed up in drugs. John's fuming when Cain refuses to foot the bill for the Land Rover. Moira wonders why Holly isn't at college but Holly casually makes an excuse, unaware that she's been kicked out. Eric introduces David to a contact at the council who might be able to help with some extra money so he can buy Farrers. Natasha finds herself drawn to Declan when he appears to be working wonders with Nathan's attitude.
