Plot
Ross steals money from Moira's drawer when he gets a threatening text reminder from Marcus. Acting the innocent, he offers to help Cain at work. Although suspicious of his motives, Cain is swayed by Moira and relents. At the garage, Debbie is aghast when Ross turns up to work and makes her feelings known to Cain. Later, Ross slips in to collect his bag and makes his exit under the pretence of it not being worth the grief from Debbie, before making his way to the bus stop. Cain darkens when he realises that money has gone missing. At the same time, an annoyed Gabby is bunking off school, cross that she is not allowed a pony and holding Laurel responsible. But when Laurel spots her, a row ensues and Gabby bolts into the road. Ross, who has witnessed the exchange, clocks a car and instinctively throws himself in its path. He pushes Gabby out of the way, taking the full force. Will Ross be okay? Could he prove to be Laurel's unlikely hero? Meanwhile, Charity insists that she, Jai, Noah and Archie should go out as a family, but it's clear that it isn't going to be easy for her. Rachel also seems awkward about the set-up. But as Charity tries her best to muster through a trip to Santa's grotto, her composure breaks when Santa calls her "mum". Elsewhere, Eric guesses that a lady waiting at the café is there to meet Rodney and deliberately scares her off. Rodney later fumes to realise that Eric has meddled in his business and soon Bob has to intervene to stop the two from going for one another.
