Debbie panics when she overhears Zak and Shadrach saying that they are heading off to the woods and fearing that they'll find her hide she asks Daz to go and clear it. The Dingles later stumble across Daz and he manages to excuse his whereabouts. However, he later tells Debbie that he won't lie on her behalf anymore. Debbie fears that Daz will tell Andy about the baby and to keep him quiet she says she's going to see a doctor. She heads off to the surgery but bottles it at the last minute, later lying to Daz that she saw the doctor and everything is fine. Elsewhere, Andy's dancing lessons appear to be paying off and Viv is thrilled at his progress. He proudly tells Libby that she is in for a surprise at the farmer's ball leaving her curious as to what he has planned!

Debbie begins to feel the first twinges of labour, but refusing to tell anyone about her suffering, she sneaks off alone into her hide.

Debbie’s waters have broken and despite her pleas for Daz to stay, he rushes off in search of help. Alone in the hide, Debbie is forced to pull herself together and concentrate as she gives birth to a baby girl. Having heard the news from Daz, Emily rushes into the hide to find a terrified Debbie with an unconscious baby. As Emily revives the tiny girl, Daz arrives with Dr Forsythe and after making sure mother and baby are well they are escorted to Emily's house where Debbie is faced with Zak and Lisa. Meanwhile, unaware of the unfolding events, Paddy loses hope of winning over Emily when she dashes off with Daz in favour of talking to him.

Debbie is in the hospital after giving birth to a baby girl. She looks over at her sleeping baby. In the waiting area Zak tells Lisa that he will never forget the look on Debbie's face. Zak takes the baby from the hospital and heads back to the house.

Libby tells Andy that she can't be bothered to show Bobby round the stables and that she just wants to go back to bed.

Cain remains determined to stand by his daughter and grandchild and an impressed Zak invites him to move back in. Daz continues to offer his support and naively suggests to Debbie that they bring up the baby together.

Elsewhere, Matthew and Louise play a dangerous game, and as they get friendly in the cellar Diane makes her way down the stairs.

Jack is stunned to discover he is a grandfather, but after his initial fury he calms down and heads up to the Dingles’ with Andy. Cain refuses to let them in until Zak intervenes, insisting that Debbie and Andy need to talk. Andy holds the baby in his arms and is mesmerised by her beauty. Debbie tells Andy that she's named the baby Sarah, after his late adoptive-mum and although he is initially shocked, it helps to reinforce his part in the baby's life. Debbie is thrilled when Andy promises to be there for them. Elsewhere, Louise and Matthew are excited that the B&B will be ready in a week, knowing Terry will move back in, giving them more space.

Matthew takes Terry for a night out, but after getting him uncontrollably drunk, Matthew carries him home where Terry passes out on the sofa.

Meanwhile, Andy is forced to put an end to his relationship with Libby in order to face up to his responsibilities. Despite his best efforts to do the right thing, Andy feels he can’t win when Robert fumes over the baby's name and Tamsin shouts at him over his treatment of her sister. Elsewhere, having lied to Eric about planning a birthday party for him, Val desperately tries to think of ways to organise something at short notice. Realising that none of the villagers wants to spend an evening with the local con artist, she begins to panic.

Bob and Val create the idea of a VE celebration as a cover to get people to attend Eric's birthday party the following day. Val ends up admitting to Bob that she has fallen for Eric.

Meanwhile, Jack tells a stunned audience at the pub that Andy is the father of Debbie's baby. Elsewhere Louise tells Val that last night with Matthew was a one off. Val reassures her that her secret is safe.

Total mayhem ensues when Eric hears the truth from the villagers about the real reason for their attendance to the party. Although Val is heartbroken when Eric blames her, she whole-heartedly apologises and after a few home truths are exchanged Eric softens. The Dingles are coming round to Andy being Sarah’s father, due to the fact Jack is worth a bob or two. However Cain makes a point of reminding Andy what will happen if he messes them around. Meanwhile, back at the party Louise is tempted to take a break from running the bar to head off with Matthew. However she turns down his advances.

After Louise has spent a sneaky lunch break in bed with Matthew, she is horrified to find out that he had also made plans to meet Terry at the same time. She lets Matthew know how annoyed she is with him. When Val arrives at Eric's with her worldly possessions he is visibly unaware of her plans to move in.

Scott can’t believe his luck and all his feelings for Zoe come flooding back. Meanwhile, in The Woolpack work-shy Tamsin wonders how hard bar work can be and offers her services to Diane. Diane tells her that she needs someone with more experience.

Zoe receives a visit from Social Services and is convinced that Viv is behind it. When the Social Worker mentions to Zoe about her losing two brothers, Zoe becomes infuriated and tells Scott only him and Ashley knew about that so he must have told Viv. It suddenly dawns on Zoe that Viv and Scott have been colluding together all this time. Has Scott just blown his chances of a future together with Zoe and Jean? Elsewhere, the Sugden's barn is flooded and the blame is pinned on Daz.

Donna is shocked by Scott’s generosity with money, unaware that it is his way of saying goodbye as he prepares to leave the country with Zoe and Jean. Before heading to Home Farm, Scott also posts a letter to girlfriend Dawn. Having acknowledged his feelings for Zoe, Scott gets down on one knee at Home Farm to propose. Zoe is unable to keep up the pretence that everything is going ahead as planned and tells him there is no way she will marry him, before retracting her invitation for Scott to join her and Jean in America. Scott reacts by throwing her down against the table in a rage. Zoe grabs the nearest thing to her, a syringe filled with Ketamine she had just prepared for an injured horse and plunges it into him. As Scott falls to the floor Zoe picks up a second syringe just as Paddy walks in and witnesses the attack. Has Zoe enough hatred for Scott to inject him with the second needle and get him out of her life for good

The police arrive at Home Farm to question Zoe. When the engagement ring and the puncture wounds on Scott’s body are discovered DI Warren begins to wonder if Zoe knows more than she is letting on and she is arrested on suspicion of assault. Paddy is told that he must give a statement but is aware this evidence is crucial to Zoe’s fate. When the drugs are mentioned and the fact that as a vet, Zoe would be aware of their effect on humans, the pressure is on Paddy to ensure some damage limitation?

Will Viv go through with her threat and seek revenge for her critically ill son?

Zoe awaits news on whether she is to be charged or not until the police have obtained a statement from Scott, who is currently unconscious. Eventually, Zoe is released on bail but told to have no contact with witnesses. That afternoon, back at Home Farm, there’s a knock at the door and Viv barges her way in. Zoe tells Viv that Scott tried to rape her but Viv is having none of it and goes for Zoe. A struggle ensues but Depaul arrives and prises them apart, telling Zoe she’ll end up getting herself arrested again. Will Depaul ensure Viv leaves before Zoe says something she might later regret? Elsewhere, Dawn is furious when she receives Scott’s letter telling her he’s left the village and, feeling betrayed, she decides to flee to Spain.
