Meanwhile, Becky, has been lying to her new boyfriend, Robert, to impress him and has claimed she is a good skier. However she crashes into Erica and Sharon on the slopes. In ED, Becky confesses all to Robert, whilst Sharon breaks down when she discovers her boyfriend has still been seeing his wife and got her pregnant. Erica comforts her and even takes her home.
Site owners, Colin and Megan, ask a group of travellers to move on when they start causing a nuisance. They later find their dog dead, and in revenge Colin drives a tractor into their caravan.
