Natasha's fuming with Nathan and Maisie's surprise

Maisie and Nathan ask Nicola to clear Natasha's diary so they can plan a surprise for her. When Natasha discovers that Nicola has rescheduled some important meetings without her consent, the Wylde children are forced to come clean that they've booked her and Mark a hotel break to give them some time together.

Secretly hating the thought of spending alone time with Mark, Natasha tries to make excuses but Maisie and Nathan refuse to take no for an answer. However, once the children have gone, Natasha continues her hostile stance towards Mark. She agrees to go on the break so long as they have separate beds.

Mark's frustrated to receive a call from a frantic Faye who states they need to meet as Ryan has decided to join the army. Will Mark agree to help Faye change their son’s mind?
