Charity knows something is up with Jai as he cancels a lunch date and is increasingly more distracted. Rishi fears that Jai is not doing a good job of hiding his worries.

Cameron is floored when a relative of Alex arrives in the village looking for them. The family member vows not to rest until they discover what really happened. Meanwhile, Jai feels the pressure when Charity sees that his phone is ringing and answers it. I

Jai demands to know more about Rishi's visit, but Rachel slams the door in his face and tells him to stay away. He then struggles to contain his anger at the factory as everything winds him up. Soon afterwards, Jai lays into his dad about going to see Rachel, and Charity walks in to find him with Rishi pinned against the wall.

Charity begins asking questions, determined to find out what Jai is holding back. She quizzes Gennie about whether she thinks Jai has been acting strangely. When Rishi is asked, he assures Charity that it's the baby issue, but Charity determinedly follows up her enquiries by asking Dan and Ali.

Jai returns to work and makes an uneasy truce with Nikhil, but soon finds himself clashing with Dan, who takes a stand and walks out. Nikhil is fuming and as he points out all the mistakes that Jai has made, Jai storms out furious. In the café, Rachel is concerned as she sees things aren't good between Jai and Charity.

Noah sulks over wanting to see Jai, leaving Charity torn over what to do. Soon afterwards, Rishi tries to talk to Charity, who is losing patience with Jai. Rishi encourages her to give Jai another chance, but she's at the end of her tether and thinks she should just give up like Jai has.

At Holdgate Farm, Rishi is shocked to hear that Charity has left Jai and insists that he can't let her go without a fight. Over at Pear Tree Cottage, Charity is wound up when she discovers that Jimmy has asked Chas to the family meal, and she tries to hide her frustration when Jimmy says that she has a cold heart.

Chas is unnerved when Jimmy calls her to the graveyard to see that all of the flowers from the other graves have been piled on top of Carl's grave. Chas is unaware that she's being watched. Back at the pub, Chas is terrified when she opens her mail to find a photo of herself with her eyes scratched out and blames a baffled Bernice. Ashley, Bernice and Jimmy are all concerned and try to help Chas, who is clearly struggling to hold it together despite her brave front.

As a shaken Chas sits alone, her mobile rings and she kills the call. At the same time, Nicola is sceptical over Chas's story of having a mystery stalker and tells Jimmy not to make it his fight. Later, Bernice is telling Chas to sort this out when they hear Gabby screaming and hurry through to the back.

There is still tension between Declan and Katie as she declines his offer of going out for the day. Declan smarts and Robbie enjoys the animosity.

Alicia and David prepare to tell people they're not together anymore. However, David is put out when Alicia milks it for sympathy. As word spreads, David realises that it's not quite going according to plan. David wants Priya to keep things quiet about them for a couple more weeks because of Jacob, but Jacob later spots them kissing and runs off crying.

David is gutted that Jacob is ignoring him. He doesn't see why Alicia and Jacob need to move out, but Alicia is adamant. David is further frustrated when Priya explains that it's making her feel like she's the one in the wrong. Priya insists that she is with David because she cares, not to get one over on Alicia.

Charity thinks Debbie's plan to manipulate Dom is risky. She agrees to get involved, but insists that they need to get Cain on board. Cain believes Debbie is way out of her league with her plan, but she insists that she's going ahead with or without his help.

Cain is worried as the gravity of what they're about to do dawns on him and Charity, but she tells him they'll just have to make sure they don't mess up. Soon afterwards, parked up outside the courier's office, they get the signal to proceed with the plan and Charity makes a phone call as they sit and wait to see the action unfold.

It's early morning, and Debbie pockets Dom's keys before he comes downstairs. Cain is not impressed that Dom has stayed, and Debbie feels disgusted at what she's done. She confides in Charity about her plan to get into Dom's office and take the client list. Charity thinks it's too risky as the police will be sniffing around, but volunteers to go herself.

Cain warns Debbie how serious things are, explaining that she could end up inside. He is furious at what his daughter has become and is unimpressed that she seems determined to sort the mess out herself. Debbie then visits Lisa, wanting her to speak to Dom on her behalf. She hopes Lisa will ask Dom to back off, believing that she owes her one after everything with Chas.

Ali probes Rachel about Sam staying over, but she insists he is just a mate. Jai is close to boiling point over the situation and tells Rishi that Archie is going to grow up thinking Sam is his dad. Later, Jai approaches Rachel and asks her about her relationship with Sam.

Jai panics when Rachel asks what he has to say. He apologises before walking out of the pub. Soon afterwards, Charity is angry with Jai for the scene he has just caused. She makes it clear that it's not okay for him to keep behaving this way. When Jai tells Rishi about what happened in the pub, Rishi suggests that he should go to France for the business meeting instead of Nikhil, to give him some time away to think.

Priya is torn over what to do about the job, feeling guilty about Alicia. She feels wretched as Alicia ups her game to Nicola, asking when she'll find out about the job. Priya decides that she can't take the job and is saddened as she tells Megan that she can't because of family commitments, adding that Alicia would be perfect for it. Alicia is then delighted when Megan offers her the job.

Alicia is nervous as it's her first day working at Home Farm, but she is glad to have Megan on side with sarcastic Nicola around.

Bernice is blunt as she tells Chas that it's time to get the message - Cameron is not coming back. Fully aware this could be the truth, Chas prepares herself to face the future alone. Soon afterwards, Chas is distraught to hear that none of the family will attend Molly's christening because of her.

Chas decides that she has to sort things with Thomas, thinking it was him who threw the stone. However, Steve suggests that he should have a word, as Thomas won't give him any lip. Steve confronts Thomas, but Sean soon owns up when he sees that Steve is about to call the police. Chas is shocked to learn that it was Sean who smashed the window, not Thomas.

Cameron insists to Chas that he just needed to spend time with his kids and he would never lie to her. She pleads with him to take her away, but he explains that she can't leave just because of a bunch of hypocrites. However, a desperate Chas is at the end of her tether. Downing a double vodka, she tells Bernice that she has won and is welcome to the pub.

Chas explains to Cameron that his rash proposal won't make things right, pointing out that she hadn't even thought he was coming back.

Soon afterwards in the café, Andy is worried for Katie, and Declan is angry that she has been talking to him. Katie explains to Declan and Megan that she can't face attending the christening - she feels terrible about it, but she doesn't want to be godmother if she can't have a child of her own.

Debbie is due to meet a client, but she is on edge. Cain makes a dig at her, but Debbie is sure her plan will work. Soon afterwards, Charity and Debbie meet Pete in the café.

Pete spots Gemma and recognises her as Dom's daughter, and it's clear that Gemma is very wary of him. Gemma and Thomas then warn Dom about seeing Pete. Concerned, Dom calls Charity to meet him at the garage. Cain agrees to sort it out and decides to go and confront Pete, while Dom agrees to accompany him as long as they do things his way.

Debbie tells Charity and Cain that they've made things worse. She is then shocked and angry when Sarah gets flowers delivered by courier from Pete.
