Episode 2984 (16th August 2001)

==Plot==
Chloe asks Charity if she's finished with Zoe yet, but Charity says she hasn't as she's not found the right moment yet. Chris is pondering about Zoe's words the previous day, clearly worrying about Charity's faithfulness. Zoe plants further doubts into her brother's mind, saying that it could be Andrew, Rodney, Scott or even Marlon. He asks Zoe to tell him if she finds out anything about Charity. At the haulage yard, Chris talks to Terry about what Zoe had said to him earlier, and he decides to go to see Zoe to find out what is going on with Charity. Chris arrives at the vets to see Zoe, furiously asking her to tell him the truth about Charity. Zoe tells him Charity is having an affair. Chris wants to know who with but Zoe refuses to tell him. Chris is determined to find out who so Zoe tells him to meet her with Charity in Chez Marlon at 7pm and the truth will be out. Meanwhile, at the stud farm office, Andrew is helping Charity with some work when Terry arrives with a message from Chris to meet him in Chez Marlon this evening for a meeting with some clients. That evening in Chez Marlon, Charity is waiting for Chris and his guests. Chris arrives in a very bad mood. Rodney fusses over Charity, infuriating Chris further. Zoe and Andrew arrive but Andrew leaves Zoe and books a table for tomorrow night. Zoe joins Charity and Chris but tells them there is no one else coming. Chris cannot bear to think about food and asks Zoe what is going on. Zoe tells him that she has been having an affair with Charity for the last five months. Charity proclaims she wouldn't dream of getting into bed with a woman. Chris is stunned. Meanwhile, Ashley asks Bernice if she is happy about the baby as he thinks she doesn't look entirely happy, but she reassures him she is. He asks her if she is going to give up work. Diane asks Bernice how she is feeling about her decision. Bernice finally thinks she has done the right thing. She thanks her mother for all the support she has given her. Nicola confides in Emily, believing Carlos is afraid of commitment. She tells Emily she is going to see him one more time, but Emily doesn't think it is a very good idea. Nicola arrives at Tenant House to see Carlos. Carlos becomes upset, Nicola comforts him and gets the wrong end of the stick, assuming Carlos wants them to get back together. Carlos backs off and tells her he doesn't want them to get back together. Scott is shocked and embarrassed to see the sight of his mother modelling. In the Naughty Nylons office, Bob arrives to see his boss about the wrong goings on with the Miss Naughty Nylons competition. Phil, Bob's boss, tells him that he knows that Viv is his wife, contravening the competition rules with the Miss Naughty Nylons competition. The only way round the situation is for Bob to resign from the company or Viv will be stripped of her title. Bob is gutted. In the Woolpack, Viv shows her photos of the lovely legs competition to Terry, Diane and Len. Bob arrives and doesn't look very happy. Elsewhere, Paddy mentions to Jason about not seeing each other for a long time and invites him for a drink this evening, but Jason already has plans with Latisha, so Paddy invites them all round to the cottage for a take-away. Latisha and Kirk arrive early to see Jason, who tells Latisha about the arrangements with Paddy. Latisha tells him she can't go as she has been invited to a party in Bradford and asks Jason if he would babysit Kirk for her. Jason agrees. That evening, Jason and Kirk arrive at Paddy's. Paddy goes to find something to entertain Kirk while Jason phones the Woolpack for a take-away. Kirk is laid on the floor with a Scalextric track around him, as Jason and Paddy play with the racing cars.
