Plot
Amy and Victoria head into Hotten for Amy's belated birthday celebrations. Victoria is fed up with Alex, while Amy is determined that they are going to have a great night out. Amy meets a man in the bar and soon they are kissing until an angry woman named Kerry pulls them apart and punches a shocked Amy in the face. Amy stares in recognition as the woman - her mother - lays into her boyfriend for cheating on her. Kerry tries to apologise to Amy and chases her down the street to hand over her phone number. Amy is left shocked and fuming - not only has her birthday night out been ruined, her mother is back on the scene. Meanwhile, Laurel opens up to Rhona that she and Marlon barely speak anymore. Rhona suggests him moving away might help as it will give them both a chance to move on. Rhona asks Laurel to be her bridesmaid, before confiding how she secretly wishes Marlon wasn't joining them in New Zealand, as Leo is so young he will not know any different. Elsewhere, Chas attempts to ignore Cameron and flirts with Dan, Marlon is still hankering after Laurel, while Alex is grateful when Moira offers him a place to stay.
