Viv and Bob return from their holiday more divided than ever. Bob heads straight round to see Dawn and is horrified when he catches her kissing Scott. Meanwhile, Viv is too wrapped up in her own problems to listen to Donna as she tries to tell her about her new relationship with Marlon. Elsewhere, Paul begins to soften towards his mother and Diane starts to worry that she has been too hard on Val. Diane eventually tells her sister that she can stay at the pub but makes it clear that this is her final warning. Over in the pub, Louise teases Marlon that Donna has got the hots for him but he remains tight lipped about the fact they are seeing each other. Later on Donna and Marlon have a heart to heart about their relationship and decide they will sleep together but when the time is right.
