Plot
Edit
Determined to stop Rodney getting back together with Diane, Val puts her plan into action dolling herself up to go and seduce Rodney. He's bemused by her provocative attire and is stunned when she reveals she's still in love with him. As Val pursues Rodney extolling her feelings for him, he struggles to get away and rejects her advances telling her to control herself! However, when Val lies that Eric isn’t satisfying her needs and hints she's his for the taking, he finally relents to a kiss. Val pulls away triumphant that she's proved he's not serious about Diane. Rodney's baffled and tells her he and Diane have already decided they can never be more than friends. Val's flummoxed and tries to defend her actions claiming she was trying to protect her sister, but Rodney's furious and threatens to let everyone know that she just cheated on her husband to try and ruin her sister's happiness. Val's horrified as Rodney kicks her out telling her she's gone too far this time. Faye is perplexed when she receives the keys to a brand new car through her letter box. Ryan suggests it's a bribe from Mark, but when she confronts him about it he angrily asserts it's nothing to do with him although he’d buy her a fleet of cars if it’ll encourage her to leave! Cain finally lets her know that he bought the car as a moving in present but she's unimpressed by his grand gesture and tells him she's not that easily bought, before dropping the keys at his feet. Meanwhile, Edna is getting increasingly worried by Lily’s carefree new attitude to life and when she orders a flaming sambuca at the Woolpack, Edna's sure Eddy is a bad influence on her sister. Later, Alan reveals his plans to go away with Eddy and as Edna talks to him about the reality of life on the road, he starts to realise travelling might not be for him.
