With the prospect of Micky's body being found in Spain weighing heavy on her mind, Linda takes drastic actions that send her friends and family into chaos. After spending the night in a B&B, a forlorn Gail and her mother Edna return home to face the fire damage, but Gail's heart is lifted when her ex-husband Dave offers to help with the clean up, and she's hopeful that something good may rise out of the ashes. However, Gail is caught in the middle when tempers rise between Dave and resentful Tom.
