Steph’s feeling sorry for herself on the sofa at Vince’s house. Beth holds her tongue as Steph puts in her order for breakfast. Beth questions why Liam isn’t the one moving out when Steph explains her plans to stay at Vince’s for a while. With Vince voicing his anger towards Liam, Beth and Ben offer to collect Steph’s things. Steph advises to blank Liam if they find him at home. Everything seems to be ticking over nicely at Brookfield until an emotional Steph unexpectedly turns up. She explains that her and Liam are over and requests the promotional interview they did for the Brookfield events barn is taken down. Steph lays the blame for her break up with David and Ruth after they recommended honesty for a successful marriage. She books the barn for a Suddenly Single party, saying it will bring her closure. Ruth wonders if it’s a bit soon for that kind of event but is willing to take the booking. David is less enthusiastic but is happier once they’ve confirmed that Steph doesn’t expect the booking to be free of charge. Ben and Beth discover from Liam that it was actually Steph who cheated. Ben brings the news back to Brookfield. Meanwhile, Beth goes back to Vince’s and challenges Steph, who pleads with her sister not to tell their dad. She’s relieved when Beth says she won’t but then Beth makes Steph tell Vince herself. To Beth’s disgust, Vince sympathises with Steph. Beth leaves, saying sarcastically that she has an appointment with the real world.
