Episode 5495 (1st January 2010)

Plot
Ryan can't stop thinking about Maisie and jumps at the chance of going Home Farm with Katie. Leaving Katie to work outside, he sneakily heads into the house to find Maisie and the sexual tension is electric. Maisie turns on the charm but as Ryan kisses her, Will calls her. As they play Uno with Will, the atmosphere between them is loaded and when Ryan makes his excuses to leave, Maisie leads him out to steal another moment alone. As they lock lips again, they're completely unaware that Nathan's walked into the office. Too stunned to speak, though, Nathan silently backs out of the room. Meanwhile, Nicola wastes no time in organising the christening and hands Rodney a long list of things to do before the big day. When Nicola returns home having ordered an over-priced cake, Jimmy's unimpressed that she's ignored his pleas to keep spending to a minimum. Nicola's clearly forgotten the true meaning of a christening. Elsewhere, Natasha's in a forgiving mood after speaking to Diane and realising that she's happy with Mark, she takes it upon herself to visit Faye. A surprised Faye lets Natasha in expecting a showdown but she's shocked when Natasha apologises for the words they exchanged the previous day after the incident with Maisie, before wishing her all the best for the future. Faye guiltily thanks her, although she's privately sympathetic toward Natasha - she has no idea that Mark's about to destroy their family.
