Martin is cold with Ruby after the way she dealt with Councillor Barker (Iain Fletcher), and later, Barker announces that the market will be kept open – but this doesn't change Martin's stance.

Ruby is intent on proving Martin wrong, and tries to put things right with Barker. As the market traders celebrate their news, Martin is called to his stall, where vengeful Barker closes it down for an alleged health and safety violation!

Martin is furious with Ruby, but Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) speaks up for her. Martin is upset to be met by indifference from cousin Ian when he explains what's happened, and is hurt that Ian doesn't care about the legacy of their family business.

Stacey tries to rally Martin's spirits, and she goes to see Ruby, begging her to resort to her old tricks to get Martin's stall back. Ruby, however, refuses, determined to show she's changed.

Stacey turns to Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) for help, and things take a turn as Martin and Stacey share a warm moment which almost leads to a kiss.

They pull away before it goes too far, but Ruby sees everything and confronts Martin. He brushes it off, telling Stacey that Ruby is asking questions.

Martin and Stacey agree their moment meant nothing. When Ruby asks Stacey if she has feelings for Martin, Stacey promises that's all in the past. But should Ruby be worried?
