==Plot==
It's the day of Angelica's christening. Nicola bumps into Ashley in Main Street and is surprised to learn he's finally seen through Sally. Val is delighted to see the The Grange restaurant's ad reprinted in the Hotten Courier although Viv winds her up by joking there's been another misprint. Charity looks for jobs in the Hotten Courier but nothing takes her fancy. Nikhil drops the car he bought for Priya off at the garage for the once over. Chas takes a call from Carl. Preparations are underway at the B&B for the restaurant launch. When Sam pops in to wish Olena luck, he accidentally lets slip to Val and Eric that Olena is Ukrainian. Val realises they've employed an illegal immigrant so decides to have Olena work behind the scenes instead of working front of house on the restaurant's opening night. A concerned Edna calls by the the church and makes Ashley aware Sally told her they were having an affair. Ashley insists it's not true although he's unsure Edna believes him. Whilst checking over Priya's new car, Debbie spots a problem. Betty gossips to Pearl about the nature of Ashley and Sally's relationship. A stressed Nicola is driving everyone up the walls at Mill Cottage. Jimmy still not being back doesn't help Nicola's stress levels although he manages to placate her by telling her he's getting her a present. Meanwhile, Jimmy and Carl stand stranded at the roadside with their broken down truck. Sam asks Eric if he can book a table for the restaurant opening evening as he wants to support Olena. Eric agrees. When Priya goes to pick up her car, she's informed the car is a ringer and also not legally hers. Nicola is ready to head down to the church but Jimmy and Carl still aren't back and Jimmy has turned off his phone. Priya informs Nikhil that the car he bought her is a dud. Nikhil believes Debbie is winding Priya up although Debbie insists she's not. Diane warns Ashley there's been gossip about him and Sally. Debbie proves to Nikhil that the car really is a dud. Nikhil can't believe it. The guests arrive at the church for the Christening but there's still no sign of Jimmy or Carl. As Ashley is putting on his cassock, Bishop George pays him a visit and informs him he's spoken with Sally. Ashley protests Sally is lying although Bishop George isn't convinced. Ashley admits he was wrong to believe Sally when she claimed Vincent was mentally abusing her and insists his only mistake was to give Sally the benefit of the doubt. Nicola overhears as Bishop George tells Ashley his position has been compromised and asks him to relinquish his duties. Ashley labels this is ludicrous and states he has a christening to conduct. When Bishop George suspends Ashley and tells him he's not conducting the christening, Nicola bursts in.
