Plot
Paddy and Emily return from their honeymoon – eagerly hoping for news from the fostering agency. And while they have resigned themselves to the fact that it may not be the news they hoped for, they haven’t given up all hope. But will they be looking forward to the arrival of foster children or will they have failed to meet the agency's strict requirements? There is definitely no good news for Louise and she becomes increasingly spooked by yet more disturbing text messages. Things then taken a sinister turn when all the beer mats with her calendar pictures on start to vanish. Eric is growing tired of the election aftermath and the attention that Gloria is getting after the big night. Even a big order for his factory as a result of her high-profile can’t lift his spirits. Convinced that he is about to lose his wife to politics for good, he finally swallows his pride and begs her to give up on the idea of becoming an MP. Pollard is determined to make her change her mind – but Gloria will take a lot of persuading. Jack enjoys teasing the kids about his blind date and implies that they got on better than expected. He then reveals that his date will be calling round to make an important announcement – how would they feel if she moves in with them! Cain is becoming increasingly desperate in the aftermath of Angie’s death. His loss drives him to break into the deserted Reynolds house in a bid to feel close to her again.
