- Emma takes Nigel to see the run-down market café for the lease of which she has offered £10,000, and which she plans to transform into a successful restaurant. Nigel finds the place shabby and unattractive, but eventually agrees with Emma's point that property in the area will rise in value anyway, making the purchase of the café lease a sound investment. Nigel promises to contact a solicitor that day to arrange a purchase. Sean arrives at Emma's house with his friends Hannah and Alan before Nigel has left for work; Nigel refuses to let them in but Emma gives them a warm welcome. Alan offers to work on some unconventional architectural designs for the café. Nigel tells Emma later in the day that her plans to buy the café lease have failed as she has been guzumped. Bitterly disappointed and angry, Emma decides to find out who has cheated her and takes Sean with her for moral support. The café proprietor tells Emma that he has been offered a higher price for the café by a man called Julian Pickford. Emma learns from Nigel's partner in the estate agency that Pickford is the solicitor whom Nigel commissioned to acquire the café lease for her. Sean and Emma find out that it was Nigel who made Pickford buy the café and Emma confronts him. She is about to leave for good when Nigel says he only did it for her own good - he wanted to protect her from all the pressures of running a business. Emma insists that Nigel must let her run her own life.—Tim Bentinck
