==Plot==
[[Mandy Dingle|Mandy]] wakes up to find that she is a prisoner in her own home. And even her pleas to [[Butch Dingle|Butch]] fall on deaf ears. In a fit of anger, Mandy changes tact and attacks him, brandishing him a coward, who will never find love if he can't decide for himself what is right. Her outburst touches a nerve and Butch goes off in search of [[Ashley Thomas|Ashley]] for advice. The mild mannered vicar finds it hard to comprehend [[Zak Dingle|Zak]]'s actions and on his advice Butch finally releases the prisoner from her room. But will he now release her from their marriage? Tempers flare when [[Graham Clark|Graham]] tears into [[Rachel Hughes|Rachel]] about the party. And he erupts in fury when she ignores him, toppling over a CD rack. [[Scott Windsor|Scott]] plans a secret egagement party for [[Kelly Windsor|Kelly]] and [[Roy Glover|Roy]]. But his invites to [[Marlon Dingle|Marlon]] and [[Biff Fowler|Biff]] immediately has them questioning his motives. And [[Eric Pollard|Eric]] is left a laughing stock when he realises everyone, except him, knows where [[Stella Jones|Stella]]'s wealth has come from.
