Plot[]
Ashley struggles to know how to deal with Laurel's drinking. When Gabby sees the bottle of vodka on the table she leaves quickly while Laurel is still feeling unwell. Sandy offers to have a word with Laurel but Ashley rejects it. Megan feels useless after finding Tess. Rakesh spots Tess' obituary in the Hotten Courier and is forced to tell Priya that Kirin has left. PC Swirling arrives at Tug Ghyll looking for Kirin. Ashley confronts Laurel over the bottle of vodka but she denies it is hers and insists she hasn't touched a drop of alcohol. Laurel is furious Ashley could bring it up that day and informs Ashley she is going to the baby scan alone. Zak attempts to talk to Lisa about Aaron. Vanessa realises Kirin scarpered and left Johnny because he was responsible for Tess' death but pleads with Carly to keep it quiet. Gabby tells her friends she cannot get booze now she isn't at Home Farm. Sandy walks in on the conversation. Rishi worries about Jai as he isn't with Georgia like he said he was, but when Leyla asks what their conversation was about Nikhil lies to her. Gabby confesses to Ashley that the vodka was hers. Ashley looses his temper with Gabby and wonders how he could loose faith in Laurel so quickly. Zak attempts to talk to Chas about Aaron but Chas tells him they are handling it as a family, which he is no longer part of. Zak overhears Sam and Belle arranging a meeting with Chas in the backroom. Rhona wonders if she and Paddy should attend Tess' funeral but Paddy tells her he doesn't think it's a good idea. Laurel lays flowers Daniel's grave. Leyla tries to make Vanessa see that Kirin leaving could be good. Vanessa tells Rakesh that the police have been round to see Kirin. She realises that Rakesh knows that Kirin killed Tess. Ashley explains to Laurel that the vodka was Gabby's, and apologises. Vanessa reveals to Rakesh that Kirin is probably not coming back as he has told her to lie to Johnny about his father. Zak visits Wishing Well Cottage and asks about the family meeting. Lisa is unaware what he is talking about, so Belle and Sam are forced to reveal the meeting was to plan a surprise birthday party for Lisa's 60th. Laurel is adamant Ashley needs to trust her and she shocks him by telling him he is to be a father again.
