Debbie sees Daz in the café and tells him that she hopes he isn’t going to get all jealous and ruin things for her and Jasmine.

The villagers are stunned, particularly Alan, who hints to Adam that he is worried that he's taken on a lot. Adam outlines his happiness and Steph, picking up on her dad's concern, assures him that Adam is her rock.

Steph wakes up full of energy, but after eating the breakfast that Adam prepared for her, she is soon visibly more relaxed. Laurel is the opposite – very groggy and tired. Adam realises Laurel has taken the drugged drink meant for Steph and covers saying it must be a bug. Adam is clearly unnerved by Laurel and Ashley’s presence and later breaks the boiler so they have no option but to move out. Later on, Steph catches Adam adding a pill to her dinner. Shocked, Steph questions him and he explains that the pill calms her down. Elsewhere, Hari tells Katie that certain drugs could prolong Jonas’ life.

Alan, Marlon and Betty arrive at the B&B for a surprise belated wedding party for Steph and Adam. Steph is clearly on edge and struggles to maintain her composure. She has a flashback to the night Adam murdered Terence and freaks. Adam manages to calm her and puts her to bed but Alan's concern increases. After the guests have left Steph declares that she can’t cope with the lies and plans to confess. Panicked, Adam reminds her that they could go to prison. Seeing Adam panicked, Steph says that she is prepared to shoulder the blame as she loves him so much. Elsewhere, Jean flirts with Tom. Tom later confesses to Terry that he's thinking about asking Jean out. Terry tells Jean about Tom's plan and is alarmed when Jean says that she will accept. Jean promises that it is only to divert people away from their relationship, but Terry worries about Dawn finding out as she comes out of prison the following day.

Adam tries one last time to persuade Steph not to confess to Terence’s murder but to no avail. Steph and Adam go round to see Alan and she blurts out that she killed Terence. Steph leads Alan to where Terence's body is buried, but as they approach the woodlands a chilling shock awaits them. Elsewhere, Jean enjoys her date with Tom, but makes an excuse to cut the night short. Jean tells Terry that she misunderstood Dawn’s point of view and that she would be hurt if they were together. However, they end up in bed and when a flushed Jean returns to Connelton View, Dawn assumes that Tom put a smile on her face.

Steph hasn’t slept overnight and Adam suggests to Alan that psychiatric help is needed. Steph loses control after seeing Adam's face and lashes out, striking him. Alan realises Adam is right. The psychiatrist confirms Adam's diagnosis of Steph and explains that she needs to stay in hospital under careful observation. As Alan and Adam go to leave, Steph begs her father to stay with her.

Steph begins to hallucinate, and out of control, she lashes out, hitting a doctor who is trying to restrain her. As her behaviour suggests that she is far from sane, will Steph be able to prove her sanity? Meanwhile, Dawn tells Jamie and Jean that she is thinking about moving back to Spain. Worried that Dawn is serious Jean and Bob decide they need to make her feel wanted and decide to throw her a surprise party. Will seeing all her family and friends together be enough to persuade Dawn to stay in the village?
