==Plot==
Part One: Jimmy and Carl confront Shadrach over his stunt at the development site the previous day. He gets them to pay for his food in order to reveal who was behind the idea. News of Pearl's moonlight flit has spread around the village. Len initially takes his anger out on Del who mentions that Pearl mentioned something about Eric tricking her. Jimmy confronts Jack, accusing him of trying to sabotage his business. Jack is pleased to have wound him up. Len goes to see Edna and angrily takes his frustrations out on her. When he becomes personal, Tom kicks Len out. Hari asks Jo to let Katie know that the photographer will meet her at 2pm. Jo deceitfully rings Katie and tells her to meet the photographer at 3pm. Len bumps into Eric in the Woolpack and exchanges words with him over Pearl too. Danny breaks the argument up. Matthew, Sadie and Cain are impressed with Jack's attempts to put a spanner in the works for Jimmy. Viv goes in for her appointment with the nurse. Jimmy smugly turns down Sadie and Matthew's offer of a deal with him to use their haulage firm. Cain bumps into Sadie outside the Woolpack afterwards. The photographer, Glen, meets Jo at the stables. She lets him believe that she is Katie and the photoshoot get underway. At the development site, someone drives a digger into the side of the show home wall.
Part Two: Viv is upset as she is told that she has a fibroid and that it's unlikely she'll get pregnant or be able to carry a baby to full-term. Jimmy is livid when he finds the damage that has been made to the show home. Hari and Katie find Joe having sultry photographs taken by Glen. When Hari explains that Jo has deceived him, Glen suggests he involves both girls in the shoot. Jimmy lays into Jack outside the Woolpack, accusing him of causing the damage to the show home. Diane and Carl step in to avoid a fight breaking out between the pair. Sadie watches on amused. Jack informs Tom about the damage to the show home. Viv feels like she has failed Bob by not being able to give him a baby. Bob suggests they go down the surrogacy route. Danny has been ringing round to try and find Pearl but has had no joy. Betty encourages Len to make up with Edna but he accuses her of interfering and manages to upset her too. He confides in Danny that his real anger is with Pearl and refuses to go looking for her, saying that if she does return he'll allow her in the house only long enough for her to collect her belongings and leave again. Carl suggests to Jimmy that they should make sure the show home is still structurally sound but Jimmy vows to make sure they open on time whatever it takes.
