Plot
Bernice tells Diane that she has booked a flight to Australia and it leaves tonight. Priya agrees to go on a date with Rakesh, despite Jai's feelings. Ross tells Adam that he has a job for him later today. David becomes suspicious when he sees Rakesh struggling to install Amba's car seat. Leyla is annoyed that Katie gave her a hard time over Adam when she finds out about her kiss with Andy. Ross runs through what Adam needs to do as getaway driver before heading inside a shop, but Adam struggles to hide his terror when Ross runs out moments later and jumps into the car. They speed off down the road. Rakesh tells Priya that his and Jai's falling out was strictly business and nothing more. Diane informs Andy of Bernice's plans and he is sorry for what happened, but tells Diane that Katie means so much more to him. At their picnic, Rakesh offers Priya dessert and she prepares to tell him about her eating disorder. Pete proves his worth at the farm when he takes initiative over a cattle sale that is Adam's responsibility and Moira decides to ask him to replace Adam as farm manager. Alicia is irritated when David continues to obsess about seeing Rakesh and Priya together. Diane tells Kerry that Daz has booked and paid for their wedding buffet at The Woolpack, but Dan is not impressed. Priya worries to Leyla that she's scared Rakesh off saying he couldn't get away quick enough after telling him of her eating disorder. Jai is dumbfounded when Rakesh arrives at the factory and tells him and Rishi that he thinks Priya is amazing and wants Rishi's permission to marry her. Adam is later humiliated when he asks Ross for his half from the robbery and Ross hands him half a chocolate bar - that he paid for and reminds him he's changing his ways. Priya is amazed when she walks in on Jai and Rakesh fighting in the factory and overhears Rakesh wants to marry her.
