Vivienne questions Barry about Rebecca

In the morning, Bob notes that Rebecca's car is still outside Barry's house. Inside, Rebecca is insisting that Barry reads the email to her. His email is devised to further estrange Rebecca from Sarah, and hearing it makes Rebecca cry. In Vivienne's home, she is despondent when she has not heard from Barry, who stood her up the day before. Denzo suggests that they use Mark to stash the newly-stolen phones.

Philip watches Jo closely at breakfast and pushes all his suspicions about Jo aside when she plays happy families with Dermot. Mark chooses the Bishops over his own family when he agrees to stash the stolen phones in the Halpins' house. Denzo is slagged about his friendship with Mark.
In the Station bar, Tommy excites Jo by stealing an intimate moment in public. Bob is hurt to hear that Sarah has contacted Barry and not him. Barry steels himself to manipulate Rebecca into not contacting Sarah.

Mark does his best to cover his guilt when Laura queries what's in his backpack. Vivienne is hurt to see Barry hug an emotional Rebecca, who is saying goodbye to him. And despite Denzo pretending not to know who Rebecca is, Vivienne decides that Barry deserves a chance to explain his actions. The Dillons plan a barbeque and when Judith suggests inviting the Faheys, Dearbhla notes Tommy's reluctance to have them there. Mark does his best to separate his growing friendship with the Bishops and his family life.

Bob questions Sarah's email saying that she was never as vindictive as that. Vivienne and Barry meet up and she quizzes Barry about Rebecca and her staying the night. Barry swears nothing untoward happened. But when she presses him he walks out saying he won't be subjected to a 'kangaroo court'. She follows him out, but feeling under pressure, he breaks it off with Vivienne. He leaves a devastated Vivienne on her own.

Sean is shocked to learn that his former friend enjoys working as the 'muscle' for the Bishops. Mark warns Sean not to say anything. A distraught Vivienne calls at Barry's begging him to change his mind about their relationship. He tells her it will 'never work' and is anguished when he watches her walk away.
