EPISODIUM
Mark has spent the night at Rachel's in Leeds. She tries to persuade him to go and take his exam, but he is definite that he has set foot in school for the last time. She sees the turmoil that he is in and gives him a hug. Melanie wonders where he has been all night. Mark admits that he only stayed on at school because of his mum and dad and they haven't been around for a long time. He feels that there isn't anyone at Emmerdale Farm ready to listen to him. Nick takes Lynn some bedding plants to thank her for the clothes and toys. He asks if she will give a message to Archie for him, but she says that she thinks Archie is keeping out of the way. Mark has got to think about his future now. He wants to stay in Leeds while he thinks about it. Carol is late for work again. She tells Alan that she hopes the job in The Woolpack will help sort Lorraine out. Alan has his doubts.
