Faith isn't happy with Amy's presence at Pollard's Barn and informs her she can only stay for two nights. It's Dan's birthday, but there's no let up in the strained atmosphere between him and Kerry. Maya and Jacob call in sick so they can make the most of their last day alone together before David returns home.

Chas and Paddy are nervous yet excited ahead of their ultrasound. Aaron texts to say he's thinking about them whilst Debbie and Faith pop into the backroom to wish them luck.

Charity worries when Noah mentions that Debbie has gone off to Home Farm. At the farm, Moira reassures Cain that Debbie will come around in time.

Gabby notices Laurel is hiding her phone so jokingly inquires if she's got a secret admirer. At the factory, Jai takes a call from an irate client whose order has been messed up. After hanging up, Jai informs Aiesha that she was the one working on that order and the whole thing was completely mixed up. Aiesha protests she checked it and it was fine.

Chas urges Paddy to have a rethink about Bear, as if he leaves then that'll be it. Jacob asks Maya to meet at the pavilion later but Maya has a meeting she can't get out of. Pete is anxious ahead of Rhona's return to work although Rhona is raring to get back. Harriet feels like a fool for getting caught off guard and being mugged.

Bear tries to make himself useful at the pub but ends up doing more harm than good so Chas offloads him onto Aaron for the day. Pete presents Rhona with her birthday present - unicorn slippers and a dressing gown. Rhona is far from thrilled as last year he bought her sexy underwear. At Woodbine Cottage, an on-edge Harriet is startled by the clanging of the letterbox so arms herself with a candle stick holder which alarms Dawn.

Maya tries to talk to David but he's busy helping out at the B&B which is heaving with bird watchers as a Siberian Dusky Thrush has been spotted nearby. Robert tells Aaron about a surrogacy meeting in Hotten. Aaron points out the meeting is about domestic surrogacy. Robert is aware of that, and although he'd still prefer to do use a surrogate in the US, he knows that's now out of reach.

Maya tells Liv it's not what she thinks and tries to twist things but Liv doesn't fall for her lies, revealing Jacob has already admitted it.

Liv sends Jacob the recording of their conversation yesterday. In the shop, David picks up Jacob's phone and informs him Liv has text. Jacob begins playing the recording just as Maya appears. Robert suggests to Aaron that they contact potential surrogate Natalie and invite her over so they can get to know her better. As Harriet and Amelia are working in the church, Amelia answers the church phone.

Jacob and Maya worry what they're going to do about Liv. Still oblivious to what's going on right under his nose, David suggests Jacob could visit Alicia in Portugal whilst the dust settles but Jacob insists he can't go anywhere right now.

Harriet has spent the night sitting in an armchair clutching a cricket bat. She's alarmed when she hears a noise but it's only Dawn who was passing and noticed the front door open. At Holdgate Farm, the Sharmas celebrate Rishi's birthday. Priya feels put out that Manpreet and Aiesha have spoiled Rishi although Jai orders her not to let it get to her as Rishi is happy.

In the café, Sam invites Harriet and Dawn along to the beer garden opening but an on-edge Harriet isn't in the mood. Anaesthetist Dr Gibson performs Matty's final checks.

Moira is convinced something has gone wrong with Matty's surgery. A nurse agrees to find out what's happening whilst Victoria tries to reassure Moira that everything will be okay. An upset Aiesha insists all she's done wrong is be friendly although Priya states it feels like she's taking over. Aiesha grabs her belongings and walks out the pub in tears. Paddy makes his speech then Chas officially declares the new beer garden open.

Kerry texts Joel asking to meet for lunch then tells Dan they need to come clean to Amelia tonight. Bear has packed his bags. Jessie is impressed to learn the rates Ellis is charging for his personal training sessions which only makes Billy feel worse as he's fed up of his dead-end job driving for the Sharmas.

After some persuasion from Amy, Eric agrees to let their unwanted house guest stay a while longer much to Faith's annoyance.

Natalie reluctantly agrees to talk to Faith, Chas, Paddy and Bear. Rhona tells Pete about finding Kim's son.

Priya and Aiesha try to persuade David and Maya join them on a night out tomorrow. David isn't keen whilst Maya agrees to think about it. After Priya and Aiesha leave, David informs Maya that the money should be in her account and they kiss which is witnessed by Jacob. Jacob wishes things were different and he and Maya could be together.

Maya appears in Jacob's bedroom as he's packing for Portugal. She asks Jacob if David believed his story yesterday then tells him putting the ring back was a bad idea as no one was going to miss it for ages. Jacob reveals David asked Eric for the ring - he's planning to propose.
