Episode 8586 (5th September 2019)

==Plot==
A guilty Victoria watches Robert and Seb together, gutted to see how difficult it is to be parted from each other. A harassed Jimmy and Nicola arrange a rendezvous after the chaotic school run, as the children watch them kiss, disgusted. Leyla and David are both at a loss at how to prevent Jacob from waiting for Maya. Victoria bites down on her nerves and tells Robert she'll testify, much to Robert, Aaron, and Liv's elation. Harriet and Will arrange to meet at Woodbine and make the most of an empty house. Tracy lies to Vanessa about her meeting with Pete, and fears he's got cold feet. David and Pollard eavesdrop as Jacob discusses his plans with Liv, and are relieved to hear him acknowledge that Maya screwed up his life. At the shop, Marlon, Jessie, and Priya worry about the school going to a 4 day week, and Nicola is determined to fight it. Wendy arrives at Mill Cottage and launches a tirade of abuse at Robert and Victoria. Robert is alarmed to see Victoria so rattled by Wendy's grave warning. At court, Robert starts to fear that Victoria isn't strong enough to testify at a trial. David is delighted when Jacob states that what happened between him and Maya was wrong, and he is ready for a fresh start. Pete arrives at the café, and he and a grateful Tracy leave for the pawn shop. Robert bolsters himself and covers his unease, as he tries to muster hope ahead of his plea hearing. As they sit down to a pub lunch, David is elated when Jacob asks to move home. Jimmy's romantic surprise for Nicola is ruined when she returns home with Marlon and Jessie, determined to prevent the school from closing. Harriet and Will are gutted when they return to Woodbine for a rendezvous, only to realise that Pearl is home. As Robert prepares to enter the courtroom, the family steel themselves, ready to get it over with. As David and Leyla help Jacob move his things back home, David is worried to find a photograph of Maya in his belongings, fearing his son is lying to them. In court, Aaron is horrified as Robert pleads guilty, realising he's not even going to fight.
