Mackenzie is disappointed following proposal mix-up

Mackenzie and Charity appeared to be on steady footing as the last of three episodes began – in spite of Mackenzie secretly cheating on Charity with a mystery one-night stand.

Charity happily accepted when Mackenzie popped into the Woolpack to invite her for lunch.

As she disappeared out back, Mackenzie bragged to Bob that he had a romantic surprise in store for Charity.

A curious Bob tried to guess what Mackenzie’s surprise might be.

After Mackenzie hinted that it was a big one, Bob got the wrong idea.

Later, Bob told Charity that Mackenzie was planning on proposing to her. Charity was clearly aghast by the news.

Sitting down to talk to Mackenzie, she told him that she loves him – but begged him not to spoil their relationship by proposing to her.

A baffled Mackenzie revealed his surprise – tickets to Ibiza.

Charity was relieved and overjoyed, and told Mackenzie that a holiday is much better than a marriage proposal.

Although both are excited for their holiday, Mackenzie was clearly disappointed by Charity’s reaction to the prospect of marriage.

Is this the beginning of the end for Charity and Mackenzie?

Liam is in denial about the extent of Leyla’s problems

Elsewhere, Liam received s a phone call from the rehab clinic about Leyla’s progress.

When probed by Priya, he told her that Leyla is doing well.

He revealed that he and Leyla are to undergo couples’ counselling. While Priya was apprehensive, Liam seemed to think that Leyla is now on the road to recovery.

Later, Jai urged caution, telling Liam that Leyla is an addict – and may never fully recover from her addiction.

Liam was optimistic, telling Jai that, as a doctor, he will be able to see Leyla through her struggles.

Jai told Liam that Leyla needs a lover, not a doctor.

Will Liam listen to Jai?

Does his misguided optimism spell the end for his relationship with Leyla?
