Episode 5409 (24th September 2009)

Plot
Michael drives Debbie mad when he says one thing and does another… He wants Debbie but he can't just walk out on his fiancée because, he says, she has a young son who looks upon him as a father. That stops Debbie in her tracks. She can’t ask him to choose and, heartbroken, she makes the choice for him by walking away. At home she tells a stunned Cain everything. He hates Michael for what he's put his daughter through and tells her she’s done the right thing. Debbie thinks she has, too – then Michael turns up and says he’s chosen her! Debbie's over the moon but Cain doesn’t have stars in his eyes. Is Michael going to let Debbie down? Elsewhere in the village, the on-off Katie and Ryan romance is finally on! They have a date in The Woolpack that quickly moves to the sofa in Victoria Cottage. And Ryan is still there for breakfast the next morning! At Holdgate Farm, Jai has returned to find the Dingles running rings around Nikhil with their rat scam. Jai shows his brother the error of his ways and sends the Dingles packing. Does this mean Lisa will be looking for another job?
