He invites her to dine with him and finally Lady Tara informs him of her decision. But when she starts to cry who are the tears really for? Paddy is caught in the horns of a dilemma when Mandy discovers he's actually got enough money in the bank to save the family home. Paddy stresses the money is for a rainy day for the two of them. But Mandy tells him bluntly that the Dingles come as a package. Poor Paddy is stuck between a rock and a hard place and all he can do is try to buy some time to think.
