Episode 8901 (30th November 2020)

==Plot==
Harriet is struggling to cope with the events of the past few days. An excited Laurel and Jai head off to their scan. It's Cain's birthday. Moira, Sarah and Noah present him with balloons at the garage and Moira invites Cain for a birthday lunch. Leanna informs Leyla about Gabby's new job. She suggests they team up to make Gabby's life difficult but Leyla doesn't want to join Leanna in her scheming. A Sonographer performs Laurel's ultrasound and informs her and Jai that she's twelve weeks pregnant. The sonographer takes some measurements then goes to get a colleague to double check things but Jai and Laurel aren't worried as it's the sonographer's first week on the job. Harriet heads to the church to clean up but Wendy has already found the mess and called the police. Moira returns to the garage to see why Cain didn't turn up for their lunch date. Cain claims he got caught up in work. After Moira leaves, Cain asks Noah how things are at home. Noah reveals Charity wanted him and Sarah to live with him; they stayed put as they thought Charity would get herself together but she keeps getting worse and he can't stand her anymore. PC Swirling surveys the mess of the church then calls in the forensics team. At the same time, Wendy speculates to Harriet that Will is responsible for the destruction. Both Wendy and PC Swirling are shocked when Harriet confesses it was actually her. With the guilt of Malone's death weighing heavily on her, Harriet clearly wants to confess her sins but PC Swirling puts her strange behaviour down to her recent break-up and advises her to let time heal things and move on. Harriet questions if he's going to arrest her. PC Swirling isn't. He states she's the vicar so this is between her and God. Leanna torments Gabby on her first day at the Hide until Jamie sends her packing. At the clinic, Dr Gurinder informs Laurel and Jai that the measurement of the fluid at the back of their baby's neck is high and that combined with Laurel's age means there's a higher than normal chance the baby has a chromosomal disorder such as Down Syndrome. The doctor explains they could do a CVS test to be certain but the test has a 1 in 200 chance of miscarriage. Cain collects Sarah and Noah's belongings from Jacobs Fold as he refuses to let them stay with Charity any longer. Charity is happy to get rid of them much to Cain's disgust. Wendy begins cleaning up the church but Harriet tells her to leave as she's in no mood to listen to Wendy's wittering. A sombre Jai and Laurel return to Mulberry Cottage. Jai suggests they go through literature they've been given so they know what their options are but Laurel wants to be left alone. Before Jai leaves, he promises Laurel he'll support her whatever she chooses.
