Orla and Neil's tensions explode

Pete is frustrated at being caught between warring Orla and Neil. Orla complains to Keith about Neil's outrageous messiness in the kitchen, before ruining one of Neil's professional chef knives to pay him back. Neil is incensed when he finds the knife. Vino's then descends into panic when Neil shows up, brandishing his chef's knife. Damien and Pete intervene, trying to get Neil to put down the knife as he and Orla go at each other. Neil refuses to yield the knife even as Damien restrains him physically, but Yvonne gets a hold of it and bars him from Vino's for life.

Pete is mortified by Neil's scandalous behaviour, but Neil is furious with Orla for her reaction to the situation - thinking that she should have known he had no intention of hurting her. Neil does not seem to appreciate the havoc he has caused, but Pete reaffirms how close he is to kicking Neil out.

Meanwhile, Wayne makes sure Lucy knows he is on her side and thinks she is a virtuous person when she pretends she has forgiven Emily for the 'bullying'. Lucy continues to make references to herself and Emily's fictional shared past in college for Wayne's benefit. However, Emily corners Lucy later and tells her that she won't tolerate a repeat of this lying behaviour. Lucy then tells Wayne that Emily has been intimidating her again, but swears him to secrecy.

Elsewhere, one of the boys who bullied Rachel shows an interest in her after she quits Vino's, Louie tries to convince Carol that an American wedding is just what she needs, while Niamh gets ready to pick up an award.
