When the key to Fayes apartment arrives in the post Natasha leaves for the flat to check shes really gone. Natasha and Mark are glad to see Faye has gone but it is clear that it will be a long time before their relationship is on the mend. Natasha confesses she saw Marks affection for Ryan the previous day and worries that theyll always have one foot in his past life. Mark begs her to see past his mistakes but she cant and tells Mark shes going away to clear her head. Will Natasha give up on her marriage?

Elsewhere, Lexi (Sally Oliver) explains to Scarlett (Kelsey-Beth Crossley) that IVF is her only chance of having kids. Scarlett suggests that she go for it believing that Carl (Tom Lister) would do anything to support her. When he arrives home Lexi broaches the subject and asks for his opinion. When Carl hesitates Lexi senses a problem and wrongly assumes hes worried that IVF will fail. Lexi tries to convince him they can do it together, but will Carl tell her the real reason for his anxiety?

Meanwhile, Pollard (Chris Chittell) is guilty in front of his staff when the liquidation officer arrives so he can sign the papers. He hesitates before the officer explains that closing down the factory will net him 10 grand. The factory girls have no idea whats happening as Pollard calls them for a meeting. He announces that the factory will close with immediate effect. As the staff sadly accept the inevitable, Pollard is left alone to contemplate the end of his shattered business. Val (Charlie Hardwick) is furious to find out from the factory workforce that Pollard has closed down the factory for good, but cools her anger when she sees how beat up he is. Can Pollard rise from the ashes?
