As the Reynolds family plan a celebration with news that Marc has passed his driving test, Cain plans an announcement of a different kind.

Viv gets the shock of her life when the Naughty Nylons catalogue was published - with another model's head on her body! She forces Bob to ring and complain to the M.D, but he soon regrets his actions. Diane goes down ill at the Woolpack and Louise steps in to cover. Diane offers her a permanent job, much to the displeasure of Rodney.

Cain's news wreaks havoc on the Reynolds family and accusations fly from all sides. Angie tries to restrain an outraged Sean who is desperate to get even with Cain for destroying his family. Cain laughs in Sean's face and winds him up further by comparing Angie and Ollie. Sean's blood boils and he eventually snaps, lunging out of control at Cain.

Emmerdale's teenagers are gearing themselves up for their big night out on the town - blissfully unaware of the horror that lies in wait for them. The evening doesn't go well for Andy who is barred from entering the nightclub and forced to tramp the streets as his friends and even his girlfriend dance the night away inside. Andy has to resort to some chips and a can of 'Safeway' lemonade from the club, brought out by Donna. He then goes walkabout and gets the blame as they miss the last bus home and in a desperate bid to impress Katie, Robert, Eve, Donna, Marc and Ollie, he sets about stealing a car. Against their better judgement and with Marc at the wheel, the gang of seven then begin a joyride home that quickly turns to tragedy and so begins a living hell.

Nicola has returned refreshed from her time away and confirms to Carlos that she is pregnant.

His resolve is tested to the full when he is told that there is a small discrepancy between his and Eve's stories.

She is furious to discover that he has spoken to a solicitor about a divorce and as far as he is concerned the house would have to be sold anyway.
