==Plot==
Part One: Kerry feels Al is being distant. Nate cheerfully informs Vanessa that he's been to see Tracy and Frankie and they've agreed to start communicating properly now. He is hopeful they have turned a corner. Vanessa decides to invite Suzy to a wine tasting at David's Shop. Jai overhears Kim discussing Al and Belle meeting with Carrie Carter, a famous health and wellbeing guru they are hoping to impress, and wants to get involved. Kim makes it clear that she can't trust him. Nate receives a call from Tracy. Noah's keen to spend time with Chloe before the gig. Kerry becomes paranoid when Al fails to respond to her messages. She wanders to the Woolpack with Amy and finds Al having a meeting with Belle. Kerry makes it clear that she is jealous. A devastated Nate tells Ryan that Tracy is seeing another man who Frankie loves. He decides it's time to move on. Jai turns up at Take A Vow and begins making calls to try and seek out some better employment. Al arrives wanting to speak to Priya. Kerry snoops through Al's things, trying to proof of an affair with Belle. She hacks into his emails and discovers he's arranged to meet Belle in a tent in the woods later.
Part Two: Priya and Al discuss their kiss yesterday in the Woolpack beer garden - both agreeing it was a mistake. Kim finds out Jai has gone AWOL from work. She learns that Jai has been ringing around companies for vacancies. Al admits to Priya that he really likes Kerry. Cain overhears Priya and Al discussing their kiss and agreeing to keep it quiet. Kim walks in on Jai making calls. Chloe gives Noah the slip when Nate invites her back to his. Amelia turns down Dan's offer of food as she looks at diets online. Jai asks Kim for an opportunity to prove himself. She agrees - she wants him to salvage some money by sacking the part-time staff at Hawksford, replacing the positions with zero hours contracts and in return she'll promote him to manager of the HOP and the Hide. Kerry walks into Belle and Al's tent in the woods and accuses them of an affair just as Carrie Carter arrives.
Part Three: Belle keeps Carrie occupied as Kerry and Al talk. He assures her that he's not having an affair. Carrie is put off by her first impressions of Al and Belle but agrees to listen to them and accompanies them to the Woolpack to discuss business further. The wine tasting event gets underway at David's Shop with a 'Guess the region' competition. Vanessa and Suzy compete against Jimmy and Rodney. Jai shares with Laurel what Kim has asked him to do. Laurel is disgusted and tells Jai that he can't follow through on Kim's orders. Nate admits to Chloe that he's learned Tracy is seeing someone else. She wonders if he's just using her as revenge but is flattered when he tells her he fancies her and is clearly comfortable opening up to her. Noah becomes angry as he realises Chloe has stood him up. Cain tips Kerry off about Al's kiss with Priya. Kerry marches up to Al who is still in a meeting with Belle and Carrie in the pub and accuses him of sleeping with Priya, throwing a drink over him this time in the process. She walks off, telling him not to bother coming home. Chloe and Nate have enjoyed spending time with each other. Noah seethes as he witnesses her leaving Nate. Suzy and Vanessa win the challenge at the wine tasting. They deicide to go on to the Woolpack to make the most of the afternoon. Belle is devastated as Carrie is put off by the situation and tells Al and Belle that she's not interested in doing business with them. Cain takes great amusement in messing things up for Al.
Part Four: Jai explains to Laurel that Kim will trash his reputation if he doesn't carry out her instructions. Laurel thinks he should fight her. Belle rips into Cain for ruining things for her. She tells him she won't forgive him for it. Noah catches up with Chloe and asks her where she got to. She lies that Amy was called into work so she had to look after Kyle. He doesn't let on that he knows she's lying. Kerry cries to herself as Al bangs on the door. He tries to explain he only shared a kiss with Priya but she refuses to let him in. Vanessa explains to Suzy about Charity being her ex as they drink in the pub. Leyla arrives and is taken aback to find Suzy in the pub, clearly knowing her. Kim threatens to sack Jai instead when he shows reluctance in following through with her orders. Vanessa is surprised as Suzy explains she and Leyla go back years as they both work in event management. When Vanessa goes to the toilet, Leyla demands to know what Suzy is doing in the village and wants her to go. Suzy assures Leyla she will keep her secret but makes it clear she won't be going anywhere.
