Episode 6816/6817 (13th March 2014)

Plot
It's the day of Gemma's funeral and Belle prepares to speak. With all eyes on her, she begins to read the lyrics of Gemma's favourite song. Once finished, and overcome with guilt, Belle leaves the church. A worried Lisa goes after her, but Belle is nowhere to be found. Later, Chas finds letters addressed to Lisa, Dom and Sean and seems instantly alarmed. On reading the letters and hearing Belle's intentions to hand herself in, Lisa is forced to confess to Chas and Cain about what Belle has done. Meanwhile, Pete is keen to come clean about his relationship with Debbie, while she remains hesitant. Cain is surprised to see Debbie at Butler's Farm, but she quickly covers that she is there to see him and to fill him in on Ross's antics. As Debbie explains about Ashley's car and her orders that Ross pay her back, Pete realises that his brother's previous threats were serious. Elsewhere, Ruby sets off to visit William. On arrival, she finds that William has had a fall and calls a doctor to check on him. While waiting for the doctor and Seb to arrive, she is subjected to William's racist slurs, causing her to walk out. However, Ruby is quick to return when she considers her money problems and finds herself tempted by a tin of cash she has stumbled upon, though thinks better of it. Seb arrives home and soon after Ruby finds herself opening up to him as they share a drink. Also, concerned about Jacob being at the funeral, Leyla offers to take him back to hers. When Alicia arrives to pick him up, she finds him fast asleep and agrees that he can stay the night. She accepts her sister's offer of a bottle of wine. Jacob is pleased both are being amicable, but Leyla reminds him that Alicia must not know he lent her money, especially after sporting her new designer watch. Finally, Marlon inadvertently prompts Gabby to declare that she now wants to be a vegan.
