Synopsis
Plot
Tony tells Diane that every reminder of Edward will be gone in the afternoon. Diane hides her pregnancy tests in the bin. Toby worries about his relationship with Cleo, so Celeste arranges for him to meet up with her. Maxine boasts to Theresa about Brad. Verity and Diane argue. Diane is optimistic that the baby could be Tony's, but Verity is pessimistic. Felix offers Toby a job at the garage. Toby is suspicious of Felix's polite behaviour, but ends up accepting the offer. Cleo is slightly cool towards Toby, until he apologises. Brad wolf-whistles at Maxine. A woman runs over and shouts at Brad for ignoring a "booty call" from her. Maxine is shocked to realise that the woman is her mother, Trish, who is delighted to see her. Maxine is furious to realise that Brad has been cheating on her mother with her. James is annoyed to find Ste cleaning the flat, as well as the law firm and Salon de The de Marnie.
Maxine is furious as Trish hasn't bothered to be there for her, yet she is happy to run all over for Brad. She is left furious when Maxine trusts Brad's word over hers, and completely ignores her when Brad forgives Trish. Tony tries to comfort Verity. Verity admits that she is jealous of Diane. Out of earshot of Tony, Verity asks Diane to tell Tony the truth after they scatter Edward's ashes. Cleo is pleased when Walter says that she has more than just his approval to see Toby, she has his blessing. Martine reveals to Cleo that Toby has had no partners, and is a virgin. Diane, Tony and Verity prepare to dump Edward's ashes into the pond. Verity refuses and runs over to a stormwater drain where she tips the ashes.
Trish meets with Maxine, who is very cold towards her. Trish is apologetic towards Maxine. Maxine explodes at Trish and Trish calls Maxine selfish. Maxine refuses to let Trish meet Minnie. Maxine is horrified to learn that Trish is moving to the village. Sami offers to be a friend to Verity. Diane prepares to tell Tony about the pregnancy, but she begins to feel ill and has to leave. Cleo tells Toby that she wants to take things slow. He reveals what Martine said about Toby having no prior partners. Toby leaves to confront her. Diane says that she doesn't want the baby if Edward is the father. She wants to get a scan at the earliest opportunity and then she can tell Tony. Ste and James continue to wind each other up. The pair have an argument. Toby explodes, but Martine has gone away to see a friend. Cleo is horrified by Toby's manner and decides that she doesn't want to be with him. Diane is uncomfortable when Tony talks of the twins' conception. Tony takes out the rubbish and finds the pregnancy test.Cast
