Paddy cops it!

Paddy cops it!

They're really going to do it. Paddy and Rhona are going to run off to New Zealand with Leo. The taxi's waiting, but so is Marlon. There's no sign of the police so he confronts Paddy and Rhona and tells them they're going nowhere with his son. Really? Who's going to stop them? Marlon! He hits Paddy and they're still fighting when the police finally arrive and pull them apart. Paddy's fighting mad, though and throws a punch at Marlon - but hits a policeman. Ooops! That's assaulting a police officer! Paddy and Marlon are arrested and Paddy tells Rhona to go to New Zealand without him. So she takes Leo and leaves in the taxi... Chas wishes she could run away. She's got Dan banging on about their wedding and Carl banging on about getting his money back. She meets Cameron and tells him Carl is blackmailing her. They have to find 30 grand to give him or their secret affair will quickly become common knowledge. But neither of them has that kind of money... Now that she's a Sharma, Charity has loads of money and she wants to use some of it to buy Jimmy's share of the haulage business. She makes him a generous offer but Jimmy doesn't want to sell. Charity doesn't give up easily, though...
