Another viewer added: "Dean and Mairead getting very risqué. Next thing you know, they'll be at a Coldplay concert."
Elsewhere in Carrigstown, James continued to lie about his debt problems, telling Emma and Rafferty that he has things under control.
AFFAIR CITY
In reality, he was missing out on his loan payments, but Ger signed the lease for her new shop and warned James she wouldn't cover him if he slipped up on his repayments.
When James received a threatening message from the moneylender, he tried to act tough, assuming Ger would keep the loan shark off his back.
However, to his surprise, James was beaten up when the lender came after him.
And Holly was disgusted when she came across James after being assaulted, but assumed he was in bad shape as a result of drinking too much.
HARD WORK
With Pete gone, Ray insisted he and Doug could manage the garage alone, but Dolores and Erica were doubtful.
After a stressful shift, Doug admitted he was struggling with the added pressure of taking over the car sales.
In an effort to relieve their pressure, Dolores tried to get Pete to return to the garage, but he refused, claiming he was still frustrated by Ray's controlling ways.
Later, Doug urged Pete to come back to work, explaining that things weren't going well without him.
But Ray remained stubborn when Dolores proposed a compromise to let Pete run the sales department.
Following this, Dolores warned Ray that the current set-up in the garage was not sustainable.
A frustrated Dolores told Pete that he has one final week to decide for certain if he will return to the garage.

Astronomer hires Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin's ex, to deal with Coldplay kiss-cam scandal
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was exposed canoodling with the head of HR, Kristin Cabot. They're calling it the best crisis marketing anyone's ever seen. Astronomer has hired none other than Gwyneth Paltrow to handle the fallout from the Coldplay kiss cam cheating scandal, in which its CEO, Andy Byron, was exposed canoodling with the head of HR, Kristin Cabot. Since the video of the incident went viral, both Byron and Cabot have lost their jobs. Astronomer, a major tech company worth over a billion pounds with certified 'unicorn' status, has stayed largely silent. Until now. The company officially decided to engage in crisis PR, and boy, did they engage well. Astronomer managed to recruit Oscar-winning actress and Chris Martin's ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, to field questions about the company in light of the scandal. The video opens with Paltrow introducing herself, accompanied by the title 'Temporary Spokesperson.' We need your consent to load this Social Media content. We use a number of different Social Media outlets to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity. Please review your details and accept them to load the content 'Hi, I'm Gwyneth Paltrow. I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer,' says Paltrow, who split with Coldplay singer Chris Martin in 2014. "Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.' The first question is simply 'OMG. What the actual f—', which Paltrow hilariously dodges by talking about the company's Apache Airflow service. She continues to bat away questions about the scandal while promoting the company, a supremely media-trained professional in full flow. Coldplay accidentally reveal tech CEO's 'affair' with firm's HR director on kiss cam 'We will now be returning to what we do best, delivering game changing results for our customers,' Paltrow concludes. 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.' 'This belongs in the crisis management hall of fame,' one X user said in a retweet of the video. 'This is marketing jiu jitsu,' another replied to the video. 'Masterclass in turning a crazy situation into the right form of attention while providing everyone a laugh. Well done,' a fellow X user added. Paltrow is also the CEO of Goop, a wellness company which has been hit with its fair share of difficult press. One of the most memorable moments of backlash came after Goop started selling jade eggs, which a wellness guru recommended be placed inside the buyer's vagina.
