With her gran Charity on cloud nine since she married Mack, the last thing Sarah wants is the family boat rocked.

Chloe vows to steer clear of Mack but Sarah's not convinced either of the new parents can stick to the plan. And she's right.

Before long Chloe's asked Mack if he wants to go for a walk and he jumps at the chance to spend a few moments in his son's company.

But Chloe's got news she wants to share and leaves Mack spinning when she confirms she's returning to Aberdeen. Inside, Mack's heart breaks.

At The Hide, Jimmy and Nicola are astounded when they run into their nephew Tom.
