Faye insists that she and Ryan are staying put
Natasha's terrified that Ryan's going to turn down the job in Dubai and is unimpressed when she turns up at The Woolpack to find Nathan with Ryan and Faye. Ryan mentions the job offer to Nathan who wonders how he managed such a big break and Ryan pointedly remarks that someone with more money than sense owed his mum a favour.

Faye approaches Mark and Natasha in the pub and questions whether it's a legitimate offer. Mark reassures her that it's a great opportunity for Ryan, but Faye retorts that it's more a good opportunity for him to get rid of his son.

Natasha adds that it could be a fresh start for both Ryan and Faye, but she's anxious when Faye asserts that she's going nowhere. Will Faye continue to cause trouble for the Wyldes?

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Lexi tries to hide her envy as Nicola nurses baby Angelica. Nicola's furious at the way Carl's treating his wife and is frustrated that she's constantly making excuses for him. Lexi knows that Nicola's right when she states that she's the only one making an effort to save their marriage. Lexi's further thoughtful when Nicola insists that she needs to put her foot down and be honest about what she wants.

Later that day, Carl arrives to the hospital and Lexi's upset when she sees him fawning over the baby. Sensing the hostility between them, Nicola and Jimmy leave the room and Lexi comments that he only turned up at the hospital because he thought she'd gone home and demands to know why he can't stand to be around her.

Carl refuses to listen and walks out of the hospital, leaving Lexi furious, shouting that she wants a baby one way or another. How long can Carl continue to ignore his wife's feelings?
