6567: Rani pushes Priya too far

Doing her best to repair her relationship with her daughter, Priya is lenient towards Rani at home, confident that she'll be afforded more respect at school. However, keen to make her mother pay, Rani pushes the boundaries at school, forcing Priya to make a choice about reprimanding her.

Not wanting to push Rani even further away, Priya initially decides against it, but when Rani goes a step further, she's left with little choice but to punish her daughter. Rani fumes but to her surprise, Ajay supports Priya's decision. Although the distance between her and Rani is greater than it's ever been, has Priya inadvertently started to regain Ajay's respect?

Meanwhile, a fired-up Susan seeks out Paul and gets confirmation that he has sold the paper. What's worse, her job security is totally out of his hands. A supportive Karl offers Susan a drink in the hotel room he won, and invites her to vent about Paul's selfishness.

However, when Sophie brings up the champagne and strawberries that are a complimentary part of Karl's prize package, Susan suspects Karl is trying to take advantage of her vulnerability and leaves. Karl desperately tries to explain, but Susan isn't interested, instead pulling even further away from Karl. Have they missed their opportunity?
