The pressure getting too much for her, Rhona bolts from the room to conceal the fact that she’s crumbling – her fear being that this one incident will now shape the rest of their lives.

However, the pub is struggling without its chef and heart to heart results in Charity pleading with Chas to move back in. But what decision will Chas end up making?

Manpreet has decided not to face her sister Meena in court. But when she tells Liam that she won’t be testifying, the atmosphere quickly sours.

Hope for Laurel and Jai?

After discovering all about Marlon’s health crisis, Jai’s eager to support Laurel however he can. And while babysitting the kids, he realises just how desperately he misses life with his family.

Laurel, meanwhile, is set to experience guilt after lying to Arthur about the reason for the break-up in order to preserve his image of Jai. Later in the week, Jai expresses hope that the relationship can be salvaged, but Laurel is having none of it and shows him the door.

Aware of the ongoing tensions but oblivious as to the cause, Arthur ends up accusing Laurel of sleeping with someone else. And it’s left to Jai to set him straight on the matter and reveal the truth.
