Plot[]

Part One: Mary informs April and Leo of her plans to move to Ecuador with Faye over breakfast. April encourages her to go for it if it makes her happy but Leo isn't so pleased. Bob confirms with Scott that it's okay for Cathy to stay with him in the Lake District; Wendy isn't sure it's a good idea though as they're all struggling to deal with Cathy's PMDD and questions how Scott will manage. Marlon lets slip to Mary that Rhona isn't happy about her moving to Ecuador. Mary wonders if things are moving too fast and if she should take some time but Faye insists that if Rhona loves her, she'll understand. Marshall informs Arthur that his dad came over yesterday and he came out to him fully before telling him Mulberry Cottage is his home now. Afterward, Marshall asks Arthur out on a date. A delighted Arthur accepts. The auction for Faye's women's shelter in Ecuador gets underway at the Hide. The first item up for grabs is a week of lunches from Café Main Street donated by Nicola. It only raises £5 much to Nicola's annoyance. As the next item goes under the hammer, Rhona pulls Mary aside and tells her mother she's worried she's making the wrong decision in moving to Ecuador with a virtual stranger and asks her not to leave.

Part Two: Rhona fears she might never see her mother again if she moves to Ecuador. She's hurt that Mary could leave their family to live somewhere she's never even been with someone she barely knows. Mary accepts it's a bit mad but believes this might be her only opportunity at real love. Cathy summons her friends to the café where she informs them she's going to stay with Scott as she won't be taking her exams this year. Whilst they're all together, Marshall announces he's gay. No one is surprised. The last thing up for auction is a day of deep cleaning provided by Lydia. A bidding war ensues and it goes for £200 - the highest sale of the day. Afterward, Suzy takes some photographs for social media but Faye refuses to be in any of them. At Wishing Well Cottage, Belle and Tom share a kiss then Belle leads Tom upstairs. After giving Mary's earlier words some thought, Rhona decides to give Mary her blessing to move to Ecuador and the pair hug. Suzy announces they auction has raised over £2,000. Faye asks Suzy about banking the cash but Suzy explains she usually does a bank transfer for her records. Faye isn't happy about this but does her best to hide it. Bob feels like he's let Cathy down but Cathy insists he's being the best dad he possibly can be by letting her go. Faye grumbles to Mary about how the £2,000 is only a drop in the ocean and the charity needs a quick cash injection so Mary suggests she make a donation of her own. Suzy overhears this and is suspicious. Afterward, a wary Suzy approaches Mary and asks her just how much she knows about Faye and the charity. Cathy says a tearful goodbye to her loved ones then Bob drives her to the Lake District. Suzy tells Mary how Faye was acting shifty over the bank transfer and it's also strange she didn't want her photograph taken. This, coupled with the charity's basic website and lack information about the shelter online, leaves Suzy to suspect Faye is conwoman. Mary refuses to listen to Suzy's suspicions. She's adamant Faye isn't doing anything dodgy and decides to prove her trust by transferring Faye a large sum of money.
