Emma and James arrive in The Woolpack and break the news that the body wasn't Ross'. Cain continues to insist that he is not to blame for Ross going missing but Emma tells him that the police will find evidence as they have found Ross's car at the train station. Cain says how he tied Ross up and threw him in the back of his van and drove it to a cliffs edge as he did not want Ross to mess up the wedding, but when he went back Ross wasn't there. He explains how if Ross had fallen over the cliff then it would of been his fault, but he must have gotten out alive to drive his car therefore he is innocent. Eric catches Diane going through though draws at The Grange office looking for the DVD. He says he is not ready to watch it, but Diane insists that Val made the DVD for a reason and it could contain Val's last wishes so Eric finally tells Diane where the DVD is. Rachel is furious with Sam as the warning light came on in the car a week ago, yet he did nothing about it. Zak arrives to witness their argument but Rachel tells him to mind his own business when he questions her. James reassures Emma that he believes that Cain was telling the truth about Ross in the pub, as he wouldn't admit to that if he had killed Ross, so Ross must still be alive. Emma calls Pete to tell him that it wasn't Ross but Pete rejects her call. Ali, Dan, Rachel, Sam and Amelia attend Ruby's funeral, but Rachel insists that Sam tells Zak and Lisa that cannot come.
