==Plot==
Part One: Pearl sneaks into Val's Interiors before anyone else arrives and disconnects the internet connection. Debbie struggles at the thought of another day of stuffing envelopes. Shadrach laps up Zak and Lisa's gratitude at foiling Beryl and Barney's plan as they wait on him hand and foot. Del and Val try to log-on to the computer but are unable to access the internet. Del asks for her money back from Pearl as Paddy has suggested a weekend away. Tom quizzes Jimmy on how things are going with the building inspector, noting that the sign-off seems to have happened quickly. He tells Jimmy he doesn't want anymore cock-ups. Belle becomes suspicious of Shadrach. Terry receives a call from his solicitor. He informs Jean he intends to bring Dawn's criminal record into play for custody of TJ. Pearl makes Del realise that if she pulls out of the investment scheme that she and Val will also need to. Belle quizzes Perdita on what exactly happened between Shadrach and the Chugspokes. Eric overhears Del talking about hopefully coming into money with Pearl and Val. Jamie apologises to Dawn for letting slip about her plans to move. Belle confronts Shadrach about his involvement in the truffle scam. Debbie asks after a job in the Woolpack but Diane has no vacancies. Eric corners Pearl alone and warns her that if she's pulling one of her scams on Val, she'll be for it. 
Part Two: Pearl overhears Grayson telling Perdita he has bought a racehorse and that she is expected to romp home tomorrow. Jean tries to talk Terry out of going through with his custody battle and they fall out. Belle shares her findings of Shadrach's involvement in the truffle scam with Zak and Lisa. Jean goes to see Dawn in private and informs her what Terry is planning. Dawn vows to fight him back and apologises to Jean saying she'll have to play equally dirty. Jack overhears Jimmy telling Tom that the estate agent has advised him they can put another £5,000 on the asking price for the houses. Jack and Jimmy argue as Jack reasons that no local resident will be able to afford to purchase any of the houses after suffering through the months of building work. Pearl asks Grayson for a tip on his horse. He reluctantly advises her that the horse is a dead cert and gives her the details. Zak and Lisa banish Shadrach back to the barn, only allowing him into the house to complete a list of chores that Belle has drawn up for him. Debbie asks Scott for a job at the garage, insisting she's a quick learner. He tells her he does not want to employ a girl and suggests she get a job as a hairdresser instead. Danny finds Pearl counting the pennies. He offers to lend her a £100 when she tells him she's looking to buy something for her and Len's upcoming anniversary. Jean informs Terry that she's been to see Dawn and she plans to fight him using her relationship with Terry. Terry is angry that Jean has told Dawn of his plans and asks her to pick a side. Jean tells him that if it comes to court, she'll side with Dawn.
