The pair are easy in each other's company and after having a brilliant night together, Rhona starts to feel a flicker of a little something-something for her BFF ex. Is it a passing fancy… or more?

Elsewhere, Mandy's (Lisa Riley) plan is to get boozed while Paul (Reece Dinsdale) vows to Vinny (Bradley Johnson) that he will tell Mandy about his gambling… But will Paul go through with it knowing Mandy will never trust him again?

Vicar Harriet (Katherine Dow Blyton) cuts a lonely figure at Malone's secret grave site as she spends the evening alone, wrestling with her guilt and shame at what her life's become.
