Mark already knows about Vicki and Zack’s dangerous liaison, and when he spots another charged moment between the passionate pair next week, he questions his sister about whether anything is still going on between them.

Zack has his own problems to deal with, however, as his money worries are continuing to spiral out of control. With he and teenage son Barney facing eviction, Vicki makes a rash decision and asks Zack to move in with her – but he turns her down!
