Plot
Maria is nervous about getting her biopsy results. David is annoyed as he thinks she's skiving. Mary throws herself into running the cafe and plans a Spanish theme night. Mandy tells Lloyd that Jenna is avoiding her. Marcus helps Maria feel ready to face the results. She's relieved to find out her tissue isn't cancerous. Ken votes in favour of Wendy's idea to update the library instead of Brian's pitch for a computer centre for the children at Bessie Street School. Norris and others cancel dinner at the bistro to attend the cut-price Spanish evening at the cafe. Nick warns Mary that he and Roy have an agreement not to be open at the same time. Maria thanks Marcus for helping her get through her ordeal. Eileen arrives at her surprise party. Marcus and Maria share a passionate kiss.
