Plot
Rachel apologises to Sam saying it was Jai she wanted to throw the plate at, not him. Laurel is angry when her bank card is declined as she attempts to buy vodka from David's shop. Furious Rachel blames Lisa for the fact that she now has to stay in the village. Jai tells Rachel they're going to re-register Archie, adding his name as the father. Laurel heads to confront Marlon, who insists that he will not fund her drinking. Laurel knocks plates out of his hands and pleads for money from those around her, but one by one they all refuse. Carly notices the 'For Sale' sign go up at David's and asks to be shown around. Laurel returns home and smashes Arthur's piggy bank in order to gain access to loose change. She walks out leaving toast cooking in the kitchen. Sam covers about where he got his injuries from to Lisa and lays into her in the pub about her interfering. Betty arrives home from her travels and walks in on the bad atmosphere in the pub. Doug arrives at Tall Trees Cottage to hear the smoke alarm going off. Laurel is propping up a bar in town and gets a strange man, Matt to pay for her drinks. Marlon joins Doug at Tall Trees and vows to speak to Laurel when she returns. Alicia tells Bob that Carly is interested in buying the shop, but insists it's staying on the market until she gets the money. Bob is delighted as the news suggests Carly wants to stay. Laurel becomes irritated with Matt as he tries it on with her. She is grateful when another man, Simon, steps in and gets rid of him. Simon offers to buy her a drink and she accepts. Betty is shocked to find out Andy is staying at the house. Victoria reveals that she's been ignoring her emails leaving Betty feeling like no-one has missed her. She confirms that she was responsible for selling her things on but refuses to say why. Carly is refused a bank loan and Brenda soon catches her trying to hint for the cash from Bob. She warns her off. Rachel makes up with Sam but admits she was forced to fulfil Jai's wishes and Archie is now registered as Jai's son.
