Summary

Phil gets amorous, while Barry fights to save his marriage.

Barry's in total disbelief and asks Natalie calmly not to leave. She refuses adamantly. Barry stands defiantly in front of the car to stop her moving. Ricky steps out of the car to sort him out, and Barry punches him! Barry drags Natalie to the Vic to reveal her surprise party. He believes it shows how much he loves her. Natalie stands trance-like as everyone sings 'Happy Birthday'. She can't deal with it and flees to the ladies' toilets. Natalie admits to Barry that Ricky is all she wants. Barry doesn't get it - Ricky's nothing special.

Ricky shocks Roy and Pat by announcing that he and Natalie are leaving together. Barry's devastated and needs to know where he went wrong. Natalie thinks they want different things. Barry's gutted that Jack will grow up with Ricky as his dad. Natalie reassures him that he'll still have contact. He's not appeased. In a desperate attempt to salvage his marriage, Barry offers to forget that Natalie's affair ever happened. Natalie doesn't believe it's that easy to start again. He begs her for another chance to put things right. An agitated Ricky attempts to storm into the toilets to rescue Natalie. Roy swings for him, protecting his son. Roy accuses Ricky of being like his dad. He refuses to let Ricky destroy everything Barry's ever loved. Barry offers to move away with Natalie and start again. All he wants is her and Jack. As Natalie turns to leave, their song begins to play and she's stopped in her tracks. Tearfully, Barry persuades her to stay for it. Ricky grows increasingly morose over Natalie's absence.
