Plot
Marlon’s recent misfortune has taken a turn for the worse, he hasn’t heard from Tricia, has had a complaint about his cooking in The Woolpack and Shadrach is still threatening to sue him. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Marlon loses the will to go on and climbs on to the roof of the Dingles house! Having been acting out of sorts since he came back from India, Lisa panics as she fears he will do something stupid. But before he can jump, gravity gives him a helping hand. Everyone is gobsmacked to see Marlon lose his footing and fall! Meanwhile at Butler's Farm, Andy and Katie are beginning to realise they have bitten off more than they can chew. They are forced to withdraw their wedding savings to pay their monthly rent. With their entire savings accounts emptied and not a job between them, Jack worries how they will meet the next payment. He is beginning to regret signing up as guarantor. However, Andy and Katie are desperate to stay optimistic and revel in the delight of running their own farm. After their evening at the lap dancing bar, Syd has been hotly pursued by Yolanda – one of the strippers. Robert takes delight in pointing her towards Home Farm where Syd is working – knowing full well, Syd has already lost interest. But when Chloe answers the door to the unlikely guest, she gets a frosty warning from Yolanda that she should keen her hands firmly off Syd. Chloe is shocked by her forceful attitude - annoyed that she unwillingly feels a pang of jealousy. But she takes Yolanda to the reluctant builder, who is taken aback by her entrance. Elsewhere at Home Farm, Joseph has a new playmate – a French boy from school called Anton.
