Paddy is surprised when father Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) reveals he has set up a double date for the two of them. Paddy remains polite, but he’s horrified to be thrown back into the world of dating so suddenly, as he’s nowhere near recovered from the pain of estranged wife Chas Dingle’s (Lucy Pargeter) affair.

Bear doesn’t get the hint that Paddy isn’t in the right headspace for socializing, and Paddy concocts an excuse and is relieved when Bear leaves with the two ladies. The next day, Chas is stunned when she thinks she overhears Paddy bragging about being single. So she flirts with Kev the drayman, which hurts Paddy even more. Chas finally puts Paddy in his place about his controlling behavior, reminding him that it’s his choice to keep staying with her.

Mandy becomes concerned when she sees Paddy looking robbed, and he tries to hide from her with no luck. Paddy then admits he feels lost, and Mandy moves in to hold broken Paddy.
