238. Double Hearbreak

Aired: 11/9/2009

Convinced Leyla was having an affair with Nathan, David confronted her and Leyla knew it was time she told him everything. David was devastated to hear that she had in fact slept with him, and all over taking some money from the shop. See his reaction in our episode highlights Was this the end of David and Leyla for good? Meanwhile, Laurel made it clear she was sick of Sally's interfering.

Aired: 11/10/2009

David was still devastated following Leyla's confession and was on a mission to teach Nathan a lesson, if for no other reason than he'd always hated him. Nathan provided him with the perfect opportunity when he caught Leyla leaving work and hurled abuse at her for being cheap and easy. David didn't need any more prompting...

Laurel was at the end of her tether with Sally's interfering and told her in no uncertain terms that if she needed help, she would ask for it. Sally took this quite well but was fuming when Laurel told her she wasn't invited to Ashley's birthday celebrations.

Aired: 11/12/2009

It was Ashley's birthday and Sally was determined not to be left out of the celebrations. However, even Ashley was in no mood to insist she join in and Sally was at the end of her jealous tether. Laurel found her doing the church correspondence and blasted her for deliberately interfering. Sally left the church, but before she did, she made sure Laurel would regret taking her for granted...

Laurel worked on the church correspondence not realising the grave danger she was in until it was too late. The heater set fire to the curtain and within seconds, the flames were raging through the building. Laurel had lost her phone and her only chance of getting help was to ring the church bells.

Aired: 11/13/2009

The village was in shock following the church fire and worried sick about Laurel. However, Laurel eventually regained consciousness and was receiving visitors that evening. She was confused when Ashley told her the church doors had been open when he went in to save her. Did he believe her when she told him the door was locked? Elsewhere, David asked Priya out on a date.
