Episode 5399 (14th September 2009)

==Plot==
Jai and Nikhil’s sister Priya arrives in the village wearing last nights clubbing clothes. Not having enough money to pay the taxi driver she asks a gobsmacked Jamie and Gennie to lend her the money. She introduces herself to Eli and instantly recruits him as a drinking partner and they head to the pub. Priya drunkenly challenges Eli to a game of truth and dare and it isn’t long before he dares her to dance on a car. Obliging Priya starts dancing on the roof of Ashley’s car, despite the alarm going off. Alerted by the commotion, Ashley dashes out and is furious about the damage Priya has done to his car. As Nikhil and Jai arrive and try to appease him, it’s clear they are used to their sister’s behaviour. Meanwhile, Scarlett returns home and is furious to find Carl is not only back but has moved Chas into Mill Cottage. Jimmy tries to smooth thing over and is relieved when Scarlett refuses to let them force her out of her own home and agrees to stay. Scarlett, however, refuses to speak to Carl ever again and Jimmy knows things are going to be tough. Nicola, also still aggrieved with Chas’ presence, gives Paddy the heads up by informing him that Chas has moved into Mill Cottage. A short while later Paddy arrives at Mill Cottage, realising he has disturbed Chas and Carl in bed, he drops Aaron’s stereo, breaking it. As Paddy leaves, Chas tells Carl she is dreading telling Aaron this is now his home. Over at the Woolpack, after a false start, Jamie finally asks Gennie out on a date tomorrow night. She happily accepts but Bob, however, is not impressed to overhear the couple’s arrangement. Also, Faye enjoys her game of cat and mouse with Cain a little more than he does. And Paddy offers Pearl Chas’ job.
