Faye insists that she's staying in the village

Cain refuses to employ Ryan, but his interest is piqued when he notices him with Faye. Not one to miss an opportunity, Cain asks Mark how Natasha would react to seeing his bit on the side living in the village.

After spending all day trying to get hold of Faye, Mark marches her out of the Woolpack set for an argument. Mark angrily questions her about what she's doing in the village and she states that it's the perfect opportunity for Mark to bond with his son.

Mark protests at her suggestion but is horrified at the depth of her vitriol as she asserts in no uncertain terms that he ruined her life so what's to stop her doing the same to him? Can Mark contain Faye's next move?
