Disa cannot find Diane or Mark in the flat. They have both returned to their homes. Etta tells Clyde to invite the Fowlers over for a meal. Mark visits Diane at the B&B. Frank makes Diane get rid of him before he loses his temper with him. Sharon asks Grant to meet her in the Vic at lunchtime. Kathy is given flowers as well as a letter. The flowers are from Eddie, he asks her out for a meal, but is furious when she tells him she cannot as she has to attend other matters. Frank visits Arthur to talk to him about Mark. Tensions rise at Number 45 as Frank accuses Mark of sleeping with Diane. Mark reads the AIDS leaflets. John brings a woman named Eibhlin to the Vic. Mark tells Diane they are going to the hospital for him to be retested for HIV, as he is not displaying any symptoms described in the AIDS leaflet so cannot have the virus. Eddie meets Eibhlin and likes the look of her. The doctor takes more blood from Mark, but reminds him the tests are almost completely accurate. Mark asks how long the results will be and gets frustrated when he learns he has to wait for three weeks for them. He drives off on his motorbike and gives Diane money for a taxi back. Kathy meets with Mrs. Collins, a Samaritans worker, to talk about re-joining. The meeting goes well and Kathy is thrilled. She heads to the Vic to tell Eddie the good news but quickly leaves after catching him kissing Eibhlin. Mark returns to the flat. Diane tells him she was worried. He tells her if he crashed he would have died quicker. Disa overhears their conversation. |
