Chrissie tries to make things up to Bernice, while Lawrence tells Chrissie to put all doubts behind her. Marlon questions Paddy if Rhona is okay. Victoria tries to set up Robert and Aaron by getting them to work on her van together. At Smithy Cottage, Pearl packs up all her belonging and Harriet helps her move them across to Woodbine Cottage. Victoria thinks Robert is smitten with Aaron, but he insists he is just glad to see Aaron back to his old self. Rhona appologises to Marlon for the previous day and asks him to have Leo a bit more for the next few days. Megan straggles with the thought of giving birth alone so Sam offers to be her birthing partner, explaining he was there when Samson was born. Lisa worries about Sam's feeling for Megan when he mentions being her birthing partner. Ryan turns up at the pub and tells Robert things have changed now Gordon knows he went to the police, as now his dad is on an assault charge. Ryan insists he cannot go through with it and he wants out. Robert warns Ryan he will be in trouble with the police if he tells the truth. He gives Ryan some more cash and reminds him he will be taking a pedophile off the streets. Aaron witnesses their conversation and demands to be told what is going on. Zak appears with a sack of poultry he has poached from Home Farm. Robert explains Ryan the new witness, as Gordon tried to attack him too, but he managed to get away. Feeling responsible, Aaron appologises, believing he could have stopped Gordon if he had come forward sooner. Jai offers to carry Megan's shopping for her, and she invites him to her scan the following day. Chrissie looks up DNA testing companies on the internet, and breaks down in front of Andy. Aaron wonders how many victims Gordon has and questions how he will live with himself as he could have stopped it. Chas reveals that Ryan wasn't a victim, as Robert has paid him to give a false statement. Chrissie confides in Andy that she fears Lawrence isn't her biological father. Emotional Aaron cannot believe what Robert and Chas have done, reminding them if Ryan has another wobble his whole case could fall apart, and everything he has gone through would have been for nothing.
