News of Nicola and Carlos’ engagement spreads like wild fire, but it’s certainly not a cause for celebration for one member of her immediate family.

Bernice’s world is torn apart by the news and with no-one else to turn to, she confides to Terry that she is still in love with Carlos.

Rodney is furious to discover that he has been gazumped over Mill Cottage. On spotting a surveyor at the house, he endeavours to find out the identity of the new owner. But he is left seething when the surveyor refuses to divulge any information.

Marc is panic stricken when Len asks him to drive him to the hospital for a check up. With the horror of Monday night still fresh in his mind, Marc summons up all of his courage to get behind the wheel. But he is terrified when they are stopped by the police investigating Monday night’s incident.
