Cain is exhausted at having to deal with Moira and Charity's incessant arguing, but he is adamant that he won't kick Charity out before Christmas.

Kerry finds a sobbing Bernice, who admits that she can't do Katie's hair and make-up for the wedding as she still loves Andy. Bernice's day gets worse when she is forced to cover the bar during Andy's stag do. As the stags gather in fancy dress in The Woolpack, Robert arrives and Andy reluctantly agrees that he can stay - but the brothers don't remain amicable for long and they end up having a fight over Jack and Sarah's graves.

It's Christmas Day and the morning of the wedding. Diane finds Robert at Jack's grave and is left deeply troubled as she worries what he will do next following the recent argument with Andy. Victoria is also stressed, so she leaves Robert a voicemail message warning him to stay away from the ceremony.

Megan has concerns that Jai only wants to marry her for Archie's sake. Later, Jai and Megan are out and are both alarmed when he suddenly sees Josh, the man who sold him Archie. Knowing it is Jai's only possible link to Rachel's whereabouts, Megan wants to do something and takes a photo of Josh's car number plate.

Megan struggles to forget about Rachel. Later, Charity arrives but is stunned when Megan admits to knowing about her kidnapping. Charity sows the seeds of doubt in Megan's mind, explaining how much Jai hurt her and implying he'll do the same to Megan. Meanwhile, Nicola is distracted throughout Bernice's party, aware that something is wrong. Everyone is left worried when Nicola reveals she is bleeding and is rushed to hospital.

Nicola struggles as she hides the truth from Rodney. With Jimmy so excited, she can't bring herself to tell him either. When Nicola finally builds up the courage, Jimmy is left hurt and shocked, but he can see that she blames herself and tries to reassure her. However, Nicola has another bombshell for Jimmy. Meanwhile, it's Belle's first day at the stables and all seems to be going well, until a client leaves when she recognises her.

Belle feels relaxed at the stables, but she panics when she realises that a pill is missing. Samson finds the pill and admits to Lisa and Zak that he has seen Belle with one. Later, Belle panics as Zak throws her remaining pills in the bin, but as everyone celebrates the New Year, a desperate Belle is searching through the rubbish, starting the New Year on a not-so-happy high.

Charity is angry and lays into Jai about his recent attitude towards her. Jai promises to make it up to her, and Rishi hopes that he has seen sense. Worried that Jai's behaviour will give the game away, Rishi pays a visit to Rachel, hoping that she can talk some sense into Jai and stop him ruining what he already has with Charity and Noah.

Jai explains to Rishi that he is terrified Archie could die without him ever having seen him. At the same time, Rachel struggles to keep strong as Archie is still in the incubator and she is restricted to limited contact. Ruby suggests that Rachel could take a break for a few hours, but Rachel doesn't want to leave him. She tells them that she needs some time alone with Archie to clear the way for Jai's secret visit.

The tension in the village is palpable as Charity is about to leave for Chas's trial. Debbie isn't due to give evidence until tomorrow, but she wonders if she should go today.

Charity and Cain are worried about Debbie, who is aggressive as she sets off for court. In the café, Cameron looks like a nervous wreck, totally on edge as he asks Alex to go to court for him and report back on what happens.

Cameron hasn't slept and is a wreck. He snaps at Alex as he is paranoid about giving his evidence and is trying not to freak out. At the same time, over at Mill Cottage, Jimmy is torn between doing the right thing for Chas or his family, as Nicola tells him that he needs to lie in court or he could end up getting sent down himself.

Cameron freezes in court, knowing it's now or never. However, he can't bring himself to confess and instead mouths "I'm sorry" to Chas. The prosecution and defence sum up to the jury and Cameron is convinced that he has sealed Chas's fate, terrified he hasn't done enough.

A paranoid Cameron lurks in the village, regretting his confession. He grabs his confidant as they leave their house, panicked they will go to the police. Cameron says that he'll confess to the authorities himself, but knowing his secret is not safe, he decides to take action. Cameron hits his confidant with a fence post and watches as they slump to the ground unconscious.

Cameron's hostage lies in the van, bound and gagged while Cameron visits Chas. The terrified villager spots a rusty piece of metal and tries to break free from the ropes, but Cameron arrives back. Convincing Cameron to untie the ropes, the villager spots a chance and makes a run for it.

A startled Cameron wakes up in the B&B and remembers that he is living a nightmare as his victim's body lies in the van on Main Street.

Cameron heads to the woods, where he begins digging a hole. Appalled at himself, he then throws the body in and is relieved when the corpse is finally covered. Back at the B&B, Cameron tries to scrub away his guilt in the shower, before heading to see Chas.

Debbie is upbeat as she heads out on a shopping trip with Charity. However, as they drive through the village, Debbie freaks out when she clocks Cameron and decides to drive at him. The car narrowly misses Cameron, and as a huge argument erupts, Debbie blurts out that she still wants Cameron. Back home at Tug Ghyll, Debbie is disgusted with herself and trashes the place in frustration.

Cain is dismayed when he discovers that Debbie nearly ran Cameron over and admitted that she still wants to be with him. At the same time, Cameron claims that his van has been stolen and panics when he is forced to relay his lie to the police that Cain and Debbie might be behind it. Later, the police visit Tug Ghyll to question Debbie and Cain.

Declan panics about Katie as he watches the medical team treat her. He is concerned further when the doctor explains that Katie has got some sort of infection and needs a scan. Soon afterwards, it emerges that Katie has an abscess on her ovary and she needs surgery today.

Katie tells Gennie that she has been given the all clear, as Declan wonders how he's going to burst her bubble. Over at Home Farm, Robbie thinks the news about Katie gives him and Megan the opportunity they need, but Megan wonders where her loyalties lie.

As Moira prepares for her date, Adam is pleased that she is meeting Dom rather than Cain. However, in the café when Dom is distracted, Cain picks up his love rival's motorbike keys and leaves. On hearing his bike engine start up, Dom rushes to the door and can only stare in horror as Cain rides off at speed.
