==Plot==
Hungover [[Cain Dingle|Cain]] is surprised to wake up on the sofa at [[Butlers Farm]]. [[Faith Dingle|Faith]] suggests Cain stays to give [[Isaac Dingle|Isaac]] a feed, hoping to push Cain and [[Moira Dingle|Moira]] into acting more like a family. Moira tells Cain it's time he left now. [[Chas Dingle|Chas]] and [[Paddy Kirk|Paddy]] are still keeping their romance secret. [[Charity Dingle|Charity]] tries to fix the till without Chas noticing but Chas catches her and demands an explanation. Charity explains she thought she found herself a meal ticket but instead [[Hugo (Episode 7973)|Hugo]] robbed the till as well as the takings that hadn't been banked. Chas decides to call the police. Faith encourages Moira and Cain to think about getting the birth registered. She orders them to stop pretending they don't like each other and instead start giving their son the life he deserves. Neither Cain nor Moira appreciate Faith's meddling. [[Jai Sharma|Jai]] has a meeting and won't allow [[Rishi Sharma|Rishi]] to cover, so he can't go to the support group with [[Megan Macey|Megan]] and [[Eliza Macey|Eliza]]. Chas and Charity squabble about the robbery. Chas decides to throw Charity out. [[Victoria Barton|Victoria]] wants to throw [[Rebecca White|Rebecca]] a baby shower but Rebecca would rather lie down. Victoria tells Robert he needs to prove to the [[White family|Whites]] he's serious about the baby. When Victoria walks off, Robert researches hypno-birthing. Charity admits to Debbie that she met '[[Tom Waterhouse|Tom]]' yesterday by pretending to be her. Debbie is furious. [[Lydia Hart|Lydia]] decorates [[Home Farm]] for Halloween. Rebecca has some contractions and believes the baby is coming. Robert steps in and helps Rebecca breathe through what he assumes in Braxton Hicks but takes her to the hospital as a precaution anyway. Debbie visits Tom at his penthouse suite where she reveals Charity ended up going home with a conman who robbed the [[The Woolpack|pub]]. Jai admits to Rishi that he feared Eliza was going to stop breathing when she had the seizure. As Tom and Debbie talk about Charity's antics, Debbie accidentally reveals she has feeling for Tom. After Debbie agrees to rent [[Jacobs Fold]], Tom asks for a favour. [[Frank Clayton|Frank]] and Megan take Eliza to the support group where they meet teenager [[Ted (2017 character)|Ted]] and his mother [[Carol (Episode 7974)|Carol]]. Tom requests Debbie act as his personal assistant for a business gathering and offers her £5,000 to do so. Tom offers Debbie £20,000 upfront, for two weeks work in [[Tenerife]]. Charity butters up [[Noah Dingle|Noah]] with Halloween treats as she breaks the news that they might need to move again. Debbie arrives back at the pub with an envelope of cash which will cover the car back payments as well as the money that was stolen. Chas agrees Charity doesn't need to move out now. The Whites and Robert return to Home Farm as Rebecca isn't in labour. Rebecca can feel her baby kick so places Robert's hand on her stomach. Debbie asks Charity to look after [[Sarah Sugden Jr.|Sarah]] and [[Jack Sugden Jr.|Jack]] whilst she goes on a two-week business trip with Tom. Chas wonders why Tom would buy Debbie a car, a house and pay her £20,000 for acting as a personal assistant. She fears what Tom will want from Debbie in return.
