When Mack asks Nicola out on a date, she has high hopes that her disastrous love life is set to change! But when Alan collars Mack and cleans him out of cash for rent arrears at the B&B - suddenly the prospect of a date look slim to none. However, Nicola is determined not to let this penniless builder get away and offers to pay for the date - to which Mack gratefully obliges. With the aid of several vodkas, she begins to see womanising Mack in a whole new light, despite Rodney's warnings to stay away. It doesn't take long for Mack to persuade Nicola to take him home - but will she still see him as prince charming in the morning? Jean takes her daughter aside for a heart to heart. But Dawn isn't for listening and makes her intentions clear, insisting she wants to make a new life with Terry in Emmerdale.
