Stella and Eva are woken up by somebody banging loudly on the pub door - and they're shocked to find that it's Gloria, Stella's mum. Stella and Eva listen as Gloria explains that all is not well in Spain and she needs to lay low for a while.

Gloria is upset to hear of Karl's affair and manages to wangle his address from Eva. She heads round and demands to know exactly what's been happening. Karl points the finger of blame firmly in Sunita's direction, seeing Gloria's arrival as a chance to win his way back into Stella's heart.

After meeting her long-lost granddaughter Leanne, Gloria engineers a meeting between Stella and Karl, hoping they can sort their problems out. However, Stella's reaction takes them both by surprise.
