Episode 2989 (23rd August 2001)

==Plot==
Part One: Emily tries to look for positives in Nicola potentially being pregnant, but Nicola doesn't feel she is ready. Scott plans to take Chloe out for the afternoon as it’s her day off. She plans to go and see Marlon to sort some last minute preparations for the barbecue. A new sound system is installed at The Woolpack. Terry arrives at work to find Chris has given him the day off again. He also gives Terry the day off. Charity is frustrated at not having a car. She pressures Scott to fix it as priority but Scott insists he has call outs all day. Carlos apologises to Nicola for making things worse yesterday. Nicola accepts his apology. Scott arrives to pick Chloe up for their afternoon out. He is irritated to find her waiting tables on her day off but agrees to wait while she finishes. Full of trepidation, Bernice and Ashley set off for the hospital scan. Charity lays into Scott when she finds him sitting in Chez Marlon when he told her he had call outs all day. He lies that one of his call outs was cancelled so he and Chloe are going to pick some parts up together. After Charity has gone, Scott and Chloe argue as she realises that they will now have to go and pick car parts up and she decides she'd rather work. Scott loses his temper, implying Chloe may have more of an interest in Marlon than just the food he serves up. Cain returns to the village with a bottle of rum for Lisa and a yo-yo for Sam. Zak is pleased to have him back. Bernice and Ashley are called in for their scan.
Part Two: Bernice and Ashley are thrilled to be told everything seems fine with their baby. Rodney treats Nicola to a break in Miami and she plans to leave later that night. Zoe tries to speak to Charity in the shop but Charity refuses to speak to her. She's grateful when Emily asks Zoe to leave as she's causing a scene but Charity's mood is soon soured as Viv gives her a piece of her mind. Cain pops his head over the wall and chats to Ollie. They agree to still be friends. Len spots them talking from the house. Diane's put out when, after agreeing to giving Nicola time off, Jason requests a fortnight off to go to Mykonos with a couple of friends at short notice. She agrees to both of them taking leave. Bernice and Ashley arrive back home and share their joy with the pub regulars, passing around their scan photo. Len mentions to Ollie he saw her chatting to Cain. Marc loses his cool and demands she stay away from Cain. Chris is quietly grateful when Terry pops round in the evening with a meal for him. Carlos is presented with Bernice's baby scan and ponders whether he is looking at his own child. Nicola notices him beginning to tear up.
