==Plot==
Part One: April is nervous around Marlon and doesn't want to make contact with him. She tells Rhona she's going to a friend's for tea. Marlon persists in wanting to return to hospital, feeling it will give April her life back. Jai is ecstatic over his reunion with Laurel. He annoys Priya by dancing and singing around the office at Take A Vow. Kim arrives to see Priya and tosses Jai's coat on the floor as she sits down. Ethan has moved into Tall Trees Cottage and cleaned the place up. He has left Ryan post-it notes dotted around the house with house rules. When Marcus arrives to see him, Ethan is forced to leave him alone with Charles as he sets off for his appraisal at work. Jai and Laurel excitedly make plans to tell the children that they're back together. Jai's puzzled when he goes to his coat pocket for his wallet and can't find it. A nervous Marcus makes an effort with Charles. Charles winds Marcus up into thinking they have fallen out when Marcus refers to Ethan as a dork. Rhona sits April down to have a chat with her and Marlon. Marlon tells April he wants to return to hospital. She is horrified and is adamant that he shouldn't do that. Jai and Laurel return to Take a Vow to search for Jai's wallet. Laurel finds it down the back of the chair where Kim was sitting - along with a bag of drugs.
Part Two: Jai insists the drugs are not his. Laurel accuses him of lying. April wants to speak to Marlon alone and asks Rhona to stop playing peacemaker. Marcus awkwardly sits with Charles as Ethan returns and reveals his boss has told him he may make associate next year. Jai tries to protest his innocence to Laurel. He tells Laurel about Kim's visit and believes she has set him up. Rhona worries to Vanessa that Marlon has come home too soon. April and Marlon have a heart to heart. Marlon explains that he believes he's making April sad and that he doesn't want her to be scared of him. She admits that she doesn't want to hurt him and they hug. She makes Marlon realise that he needs to stay home. Ethan learns Charles has been winding Marcus up and informs a relieved Marcus that Charles does it regularly with his friends. Ethan feels Marcus is his good luck charm. Rhona learns that April and Marlon have agreed to a way forward. Laurel chucks Jai out. He persists that Kim is taking revenge for making her lose over the zero hour contracts. Laurel refuses to entertain the idea. Jai can't believe it when Priya doesn't believe him either and mentions he had been acting oddly earlier when he was singing and dancing around the office. Laurel refuses to listen to anymore and shuts the door on him, declaring their relationship is over. Jai plans to make Kim pay.
