As Stacey contemplates where her marriage is headed, she ends up getting some much-needed advice from Ted, who clearly knows how to make a marriage work.

Stacey returns to her family home with fresh hope, but she’s soon furious again when Martin accuses her of sloping off to see Max!

After Stacey denies this a huge argument errupts and when Martin makes one mean comment too many, Stacey ends up slapping her husband.

As the situation spirals out of control, the market trader ends up throwing Stacey out – telling her she’s not having either kids or the house. Nice.

Later in the week Sonia and Kush take it upon themselves to help Martin and Stacey see what they could lose if they split.
