Episode 7908/7909 (15th August 2017)

Plot
A busy Emma rushes around, but as she picks up her jacket and feels in her pocket, she finds they’re empty. And her fears become reality when Finn holds up the note saying “I DO NOT!”. Frank and Megan give Leyla the wedding dress she loved from the photoshoot and she is ecstatic. Finn confronts Emma and she tells him it’s not important, but her lies come out when Finn goes to bin the note and worries Emma. Sarah has been annoying Cain by practising for choir and asks Harriet to convince him that she’s allowed to practise. Harriet reveals the bishop is coming to check up on Harriet, and hints to Cain that it might be a good time to apologise, but Cain says he’d rather join the choir. Emma tells Finn a few lies disguised in some truths. Emma tries to leave by going to see Leyla but Finn suggests she puts it off. Sarah tries to con some more money out of Pete and the money trade doesn’t go unnoticed by Adam. Amy complains to Vanessa about Jacob wanting to be at Josh’s court case before they are interrupted by Frank, who asks them to be Megan’s bridesmaids before revealing that he intends to hold their wedding in Spain, but Megan has no idea. Vanessa tries to convince him it may not be a good idea but he ignores her advice. Emma, Leyla and Finn are working on the wedding plans, but Emma doesn’t seem too into it. Emma gets distressed when Leyla pulls out Emma’s wedding book for her and James. She makes an excuse to leave and Finn follows her out. Finn asks Emma about binning her wedding dress but Emma says she burnt it because “he broke my heart, with her” (pointing at Moira), and says that James never really wanted her. Finn then asks her about how she knew about Moira and James’ affair as she only found out after his death, but Emma is revealing nothing. He follows her home and confronts her about it but she continues to be discrete and starts getting agitated. Emma decides to tell Finn the truth about the discovery. The gears start turning inside Finn’s head as he gets closer to the truth, but will Emma be able to lead him astray? Leyla is annoyed when Pete agrees to do more overtime at the farm for Moira. Emma runs to the church and prays for forgiveness. Ross, Adam and Cain are over Sarah’s singing and she tries to convince him to apologise to the bishop. Adam asks Sarah about why Pete has been giving her money, and she tells him how she saw Pete and Priya talking at the Home Farm zombie event and he’s been giving her money ever since. Frank suggests they take Eliza to Spain with them but she tells him no. Frank asks her if she still wants him. She says she may have an eye on a wedding dress and he responds by saying he may have a ring in mind to go with it. Leyla talks to Priya about her concerns with Pete, but Priya manages to convince her that it’s all in her head. Cain drops off Sarah for choir but runs into the bishop on his way out. Cain takes this opportunity to apologise to him. Harriet shows her appreciation to Cain and he tells her she shouldn’t have to change for him. Leyla hears Pete talking to someone and jumps to the wrong conclusion. Finn finds Emma in the church and he continues to confronts her about what happened. Leyla runs around the corner with her eyes covered up telling the woman to pull her knickers up but when she puts down her hand it reveals to be Pete’s cow! Finn continues to confront Emma about the discovery and confides in her how he still dreams about seeing his dad lying unconscious on the road. Finn begins to get angry and Finn works out that Laurel had been right about her and asks her to open up to him. She nods and comes clean to him. Finn is left shock and accuses his mother of murdering his father as she pleads for him not to leave her. Pete reassures Leyla that she’s the only woman for him, and when she makes her exit, Adam straight up asks how long Pete’s been sleeping with Priya. Emma continues to reveal to Finn what happened in the build-up to the crash as he tries to take in what he’s hearing. Adam and Pete talk about Pete’s affair with Priya and Pete contemplates cancelling the wedding. Emma begins to tell Finn what happened on the bridge. The church choir are singing “All Things Bright and Beautiful” as requested by the Bishop and Amelia seems the only one into it. Harriet gets Sarah to sing a solo, but the bishop is unsure of how he feels about the lyrics as she sings “Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran. Cain approaches the church and is pleased to hear Sarah singing a solo. Emma tells Finn about how she tried to make James return home with her and when she tried to drag him home, he shoved her off and must’ve lost his balance. Emma breaks down in tears as she remembers watching James fall off the bridge. Finn doesn’t believe it was an accident. Pete tells Adam that he loves her and doesn’t want to lose her, but can’t keep secrets from her. Adam says it’s not worth the bother. Finn realises how evil his mother has become, and tells her that his dad wasn’t the ill one - she was. Emma apologises for the harm she’s caused but is worried with what Finn will do when he goes to leave. She pleads with him to not say anything. Tracy almost blows the secret of Megan and Frank’s wedding. Leyla tells Priya of the “embarrassing incident involving a cow”. Finn grabs James’ crumpled up note and cries. Vanessa encourages her father to go through with the wedding. The girls decide to attend the wedding. Harriet tells Cain that he shouldn't have to change for her either and kiss. Finn hides the note in his pocket when Ross comes in. Ross gives Finn some advice to help with his grief. Finn decides not to tell Ross about Emma’s confession. Priya had warned Pete that Leyla was suspicious and deletes his text history. He hates having to lie to her. Emma is grateful to Finn after finding he hasn’t told anyone, but Finn says he shouldn’t thank her yet because he hasn’t decided what he’s going to do.
