Mercedes is back in the village, having previously fled to escape the fact she'd been sleeping with Warren behind Felix's back. 

Warren was stunned to overhear Mercedes telling Nana (Diane Langton) she's expecting a baby, and it's made him even more convinced they belong together.

As Felix departs, the coast is clear for Warren to declare his love for Mercedes.

He reveals he wants to be a family with her and the baby, leaving Mercedes with a life-changing decision to make.
