Hurting and desperate to silence a loneliness brewing inside, Mark tries to reignite things with Roxy. As he makes his plea, Mark is still drunk and Roxy doesn't let him off the hook easily. But Mark insists he was stupid to let the opinions of others get in his head and he doesn't want to lose Roxy.
Placated, Roxy embraces the man she wants, but news of their reunion causes Aaron and Chloe concern. They can tell Mark is lost and hurting and sit Mark down for a heart to heart, but he rejects their interventions. Defensive, Mark walks out and continues his hedonistic affair with Roxy, unaffected by Chloe and Aaron's mounting concerns. Mark is spiraling out of control.
Meanwhile, seeing his mum so broken-hearted over Clive, Gary is compelled to meet with the man and try and talk some sense into him. As the one most hurt by Sheila's actions, Gary implores Clive to forgive, reminding him that Sheila's love of her family is always what drives her. Moved by Gary's plea, Clive goes to Sheila and it looks as though a reunion is on the cards. However, Sheila is devastated when Clive drops a bombshell – he has already started seeing someone else
Elsewhere, Shaun brings Finn around to Aaron and David to make an apology, which he does. Shaun then suggests that they take a baby-swaddling class together. Still wary of Shaun's intentions, David agrees and Aaron ends up coming along too. Tension simmers as they practice swaddling, but in the last section of the session, they open up and talk about their insecurities about parenting Elly's child. This is what truly breaks the ice and the four men start warming to each other.
