Plot
Ashley has spent the night in the church but receives some support from Rodney, who offers to cook him breakfast. Soon afterwards, Laurel returns to work and is dismayed to discover that everyone knows about her and Marlon following Ashley's announcement. Marlon visits her at work to see if she's okay and they both blame themselves for the situation. However, Laurel doesn't want him near her and he leaves. Later, Edna decides to report Ashley to the police. Edna goes to Mulberry Cottage to explain what she's done, as the police arrive to investigate an alleged assault. However, Sandy denies it and glares at Edna. Ashley heads home, but freezes when he sees the police car. The police are about to leave when Ashley enters, explaining that he will cooperate fully and Sandy is distraught. Ashley pleads for Sandy's forgiveness as he's arrested on suspicion of assault. Meanwhile, the Dingles celebrate the garage completion, but Chas decides not to go as Cameron will be there. At the re-opening, Cameron feels guilty as Debbie says how lucky she is to have him. Later, at the pub, Chas apologises to Debbie over her no-show and blanks Cameron. He is rocked when Chas tells him that it's over between them. Elsewhere, Brenda accepts Pollard's apology as he tells her that he wants to announce officially that they are a couple.
