Plot
Natasha grudgingly thanks Ryan for saving Will but tells Mark that there's no way she's going to let him into their lives. Mark goes over to Faye's and asks to see Ryan to thank him face to face. Faye is hopeful that Mark's cracking and tells him to tell Natasha not to worry, as Ryan will soon be out of their lives. Natasha finds Mark brooding in the office and he tells her he can't just turn off his feelings for his son. She insists he is nothing more than a sperm donor to Ryan and Mark agrees not to see him again. Laurel warms to Sally over lunch, and tells Ashley how much she likes her. However, when he admits that he used to date her and she dumped him for Vincent, Laurel is thrown. Val is plotting a surprise for Eric and he's shocked when she tells him to grab a suitcase. However, he's less than impressed when Val takes him to see a B&B - as Louise needs a quick sale for her half. Eric is unconvinced in but agrees to sleep on it. Also, Marlon refuses to warm to Moira during her first shift in the pub and feels left out when Diane invites her to stay.
