EPISODIUM
Having set Paddy and Emily against each other, Nicola is sheepish at breakfast after her stirring tactics the evening before. There is a frosty atmosphere all round! But Nicola's trouble causing doesn’t stop there - Paddy and Emily have rescheduled their fostering meeting and are just welcoming the councillor into the house, only to find that Robert is inside being made to feel very welcome too! Manipulative Nicola feigns tears as Emily later confronts her over her behaviour. Furious that she could have affected their chances of fostering Paddy berates her stupidity. But soft touch, Emily runs after Nicola who takes refuge in her own garden at Dale View.
