Episode 8899 (26th November 2020)

==Plot==
A stunned Billy reels from Dawn's confession. Meanwhile at Woodbine Cottage, Will is clearly regretting his and Harriet's liaison and rushes off to work to avoid her. Priya cancels West Grove Hall. Al apologises for his earlier behaviour and tells Priya that if he had the money, he'd marry her today but he doesn't want their wedding to be anything less than perfect. Laurel is struck by sudden nausea on top of her earlier headache. Jai jokes she could be pregnant. Dawn tells Billy how Malone planned to get her and Will out of the picture so he could ride off into the sunset with Harriet. She explains how the corrupt police officer had a syringe full of heroin and intended to kill her via an overdose. When she grabbed an iron ornament to defend herself, Malone produced and gun and said he was going to shoot her and make it look like it was a drug deal gone wrong instead. Billy can't see how that could end in Malone's death. Dawn explains as she went for the syringe, Harriet appeared and whacked Malone with a metal kettle. They thought Malone was dead. He wasn't. Malone went for Harriet and in the heat of the moment she shot him. She shot him repeatedly until she knew he couldn't hurt anyone again. Afterward, she and Harriet wrapped Malone in a rug and buried him in the graveyard. Billy cannot believe what he's hearing. Liv realises there's something up with Gabby. Jai tries to talk to Laurel about the possibly of her being pregnant. Laurel thinks it's highly unlikely as she's beginning to go through menopause. Will returns home and tells Harriet he's not sure getting back together is what he wants and jumping into bed won't change things. At that moment, Dawn returns home and tells them that Billy knows everything. A panicked Harriet tries to establish exactly what Billy knows and the likelihood of him blabbing. Gabby confesses everything to Liv. Liv wonders if Gabby did it because she has feelings for Leyla but Gabby denies it. Gabby receives another nasty text from Leanna. Liv urges Gabby to ignore it and block her. Harriet heads over to Tall Trees Cottage to speak to Billy. Billy's aware all Harriet wants is to know if he's going to turn her and Dawn into the police so he assures her he isn't and comments he wishes Dawn never told him. Jai buys Laurel a pregnancy test. Al tells Priya he needs to go away for a few days, lying it's for work. Jai and Laurel wait nervously for the results of the pregnancy test. It's positive. Neither can believe it. Harriet informs Will that Billy will keep schtum. Afterward, Will tells Harriet he's going to move out. Harriet had hoped she and Will could give things another so when Will heads upstairs to pack, she bursts into tears.
