Kim and Steve give their robbery plan a trial run using Ashley as the alibi. Kim coaxes him to the cottage for wine on the pretence of offering her services more regularly at the creche. Once at the house Steve says he has to make some phone calls and heads off upstairs. While Ashley and Kim chat Steve leaves the house and times himself running to the Stud and back. When he comes back down the stairs, Ashley is none the wiser. Paddy has a bucket of pig-swill thrown over him by an unforgiving Mandy. Paddy tells Mandy that's the end of their relationship. Later, on her own, Mandy quietly cries herself to sleep.
