She is fed up with his apologies. Lynn is shopping in Leeds. Carol has decorated the house for Lorraine's party. Lorraine arrives back from school and hates it. Frank tells Zoe that he approves of Archie. He is drinking again and starts talking about Neil in a bitter way. Lorraine has made Carol take all the decorations down. She is embarrassed that Carol has made a trifle. They rearrange the room. The moment Carol leaves the house, Lorraine changes into something more revealing, puts on loud music and starts on the wine. Lynn has gone to Leeds railway station, but due to a landslide at Skipdale, she is unable to get home. Kathy is looking after the wine bar. Chris is there. He asks Kathy to work for him again, but she refuses. Zoe can't wait to leave the house and her dad behind. Mark has started working with Seth and is really enjoying it. Jack wonders why he never had the same enthusiasm for farming. Lynn is stuck in Leeds. Some lads make her feel uncomfortable as she waits for a taxi. Archie and Zoe arrive at Lorraine's party. They feel uncomfortable when they see the troublemakers from Archie's party. Lynn ends up staying at Rachel's in Leeds. Dave is trying to be knowledgeable about wine.
