SYNOPSIS

Pauline's annoyed when Sonia and Martin head for the chippy after she has prepared lunch. Sonia realises that Pauline's annoyance doesn't stem from the lunch arrangements and Pauline tells them that she's upset because they didn't tell her they saw her granddaughter. Martin tries to talk to Pauline but Sonia is unable to keep out of the discussion and it turns into a personal argument. Pauline sends Martin out while she talks to Sonia.

Minty and Garry decide not to meet Alfie for a drink as planned, as they feel that Alfie will crow about his success at speed-dating. They decide to lock themselves in the Arches for a slim-line lunch and follow the advice given in the book How to Meet Your Mate.

Pauline tells Sonia that she should be putting her daughter first but Sonia insists she should be left in peace. She snaps at Pauline telling her to let go and accept her mothering days are over. Sonia says Chloe can contact her if she wants when she's older but Pauline thinks it will be too lat
