Plot[]
Part One: Jimmy is now out of hospital. Marlon tells Carl that he and Donna won't be able to pay the deposit. Realising this will cost them in PR, Carl gives them more time to find the money. Jimmy gives them until launch day. He also threatens Matthew with a penalty if everything is not ready by launch day, after trying to sabotage his own deliveries to make Matthew look bad to Tom. Viv hands Donna a cheque for £6,000. Bob urges Donna to reconsider. Jimmy requests Sadie at the site. To her annoyance, Matthew tells her to go. Debbie finds out Scott has hired a trainee mechanic, Wayne. Donna reveals to Marlon that Viv has given them the money to make up the deposit in exchange for her being Viv and Bob's surrogate. Jimmy taunts Sadie on the site. Cain arrives and asks Sadie to show him around the show home. Marlon and Donna argue about the surrogacy and she storms out, insisting she's doing it whether he likes it or not.
Part Two: Cain gets Sadie alone in the show home and tries to force himself on her. Sadie threatens to scream and offers Cain money if he agrees to leave her alone. Debbie comes up with an idea when Wayne when chats her up. Rodney and Kelly reminisce about Italy with Grayson. Debbie shares all of Scott's horror stories with Wayne. She encourages him to ask Scott about Zoe. Scott almost gets violent with Wayne when he does and sacks him. He agrees to take Debbie on on a trial basis. Ashley tries to find out from Jasmine what has caused the rift between her and Debbie but Laurel tries to divert him. Cain and Jimmy conspire to set Sadie up. Grayson invites Kelly and Rodney to dinner when he unintentionally insults them. Jimmy orders a site meeting with Matthew and Sadie in the morning. Marlon and Donna make up. He worries that Donna may not want to hand the baby over once it's born. Ashley despairs as everything he says to Jasmine seems to upset her even more. Laurel advises him to drop it. Donna tells Marlon that if he's not behind her with the surrogacy, she'll call the whole thing off and give Viv her money back. Seeing how much Donna has set her heart on the show home, Marlon agrees to go along with the plan.
