Plot
Dawn is downbeat after her failed date with Ryan. She refuses to tell Harriet about what happened last night. Rishi gives Manpreet a chance to tell the truth but she continues to lie. Tracy and Billy arrange to meet up for a drink. Ryan gets advice from Tracy over apologising to Dawn. Harriet can't believe what Ryan's done. Harriet tries to make Dawn see that Ryan cares for her and she shouldn't let Leon win. Rishi tells Jai that he's suspicious over Manpreet, and concludes that she's having an affair. Rodney is concerned when Graham calls Nicola up to Home Farm. Graham arrives and informs everyone they can return home. Ryan's best friend Gail arrives in the village. Charity takes a liking to Gail. Leon stalks Dawn and watches her enter Woodbine Cottage. He barges in and tells Dawn that they need a word. Leon is furious after telling Dawn that calling his work for him harassing her has gotten him suspended. She pretends to want to have sex with him and knees him between the legs, as Harriet walks in. Harriet orders Leon out, but Dawn snaps at him, calling him pathetic and throwing him out. Bernice and Laurel think Nicola has gotten Graham to give their houses back. Jai confronts Manpreet and tells him that Rishi thinks she is having an affair. She still refuses to tell Rishi. Gail and Charity try to stop Ryan from leaving, but he wants to see Dawn. Rishi snaps at Kerry but is interrupted by Manpreet. Manpreet tells Rishi that Aiesha had problems but doesn't want anyone to know. She accepts his invite for dinner. Paddy helps Marlon decide where to take Jessie on the honeymoon. Graham has made Nicola the Home Farm cleaner. Tracy flirts with Billy and Jessie is pleased. Marlon tells Jessie that he's booked a honeymoon to Belfast, as there's a museum about the Titanic. Jessie is touched as he has remembered her favourite film and kisses him over the bar. Manpreet uses the factory card to help pay off her debts. Laurel realises that Manpreet has made a purchase on Rishi's card. Ryan is slightly annoyed by Charity keeping tabs on him and Gail. Gail gives Ryan a kiss as Dawn walks in, and she is furious. Ryan is furious when Dawn storms out, as Gail has gotten the wrong end of the stick.
