Kerry again warns Chloe to stay away from Mack as it's a bad idea to get on the wrong side of Charity. Talk soon turns to the house Kerry believes Al has bought her although Chloe thinks Al buying Kerry a house behind her back is controlling. Nate heads off to work but promises Naomi he'll be back in time for her plea hearing. Meanwhile at Victoria Cottage, Nicola is relishing the day in court as she can't wait to look the girls who attacked her in the eye and show them she isn't scared of them.

Afterward, Dawn informs Harriet that she's going to the wedding and informs her she's invited too. Charity and Chloe have an awkward interaction in the café in front of a guilty Mack. Charity notices Chloe is acting odd so resolves to find out what's wrong much to Mackenzie's dismay.

Nate tells Tracy about his new relationship with Naomi. Tracy is happy for him. Nicola is shaken following her return from court. Al finds Kerry in the pub and tries to get her alone so he can end their relationship in private, but before he gets the chance, Kerry proposes marriage through the medium of rap. Al is horrified whilst the rest of the villagers in the pub, including Chas, watch on with horror and second-hand embarrassment. What will Al say?

Part Three: Kerry explains to Al that she knows all about the house he's bought them and wanted to make a grand gesture of her own. Al doesn't know what to say but eventually tells Kerry that of course he'll marry her. Naomi is upset with Nate for not being at her plea hearing. Nate explains he had the rare opportunity to spend some time with his daughter alone and apologises for not being there for her. Mack corners Chloe in the ladies' loos and has a go at her for being off with Charity earlier. After Chloe storms out of the toilets, Faith comes out one of the stalls much to Mack's horror. The villagers toast to Kerry and Al's engagement. In the ladies' toilets, Mack insists it wasn't what it sounded like but Faith isn't fooled so Mack admits he had a one-night stand with Chloe but makes it clear it was a mistake and he loves Charity. Wendy reminds Harriet that Dan is a decent man with many good qualities but Harriet states he'll never be Will. Wendy reminds Harriet that Will is marrying someone else. She encourages Harriet to stop looking backwards and build a relationship with Dan. Faith has a word with Chloe about staying away from Mack. At Tug Ghyll, Vanessa teases Tracy about her new partner, Ollie.

Part Four: Mack panics when Charity mentions she's been talking to Chloe but he soon breathes a sigh of relief when he realises she doesn't know anything. Once Charity is out of earshot, Mack thanks Faith for keeping quiet. Chas and Al sneak off to meet in each other behind pub where Chas has a go at Al for saying yes to Kerry's proposal.
