==Plot==
Part One:
Nicola and Laurel spot Nate putting a suit bag in his car whilst they are out power walking. Nicola believes Nate must be up in court as that's the only time Dingles need a suit but Nate reveals it's actually for Hotten Town Hall then gets in his car and drives away. Cain worries to Moira about Nate and Frankie. Wendy lets Victoria believe she's going to end things with Liam. David tips Laurel off that Rishi is drowning his sorrows in ice-cream like he did when he split up with Manpreet. PC Swirling knocks at Dale View and informs Dan they've received a complaint from Lloyd. Dan is furious that he's receiving a slap on the wrist whilst Lloyd is getting away with harassing Amelia. Whilst Cain and Moira drop the meat order off at the café, Nicola lets slip Nate was going to Hotten Town Hall. She suggests he might be going for custody of Frankie. Laurel calls by Holdgate Farm to check up on Rishi. She tells a heartbroken Rishi that the situation is eating Jai up inside too but she has a plan. Cain searches for Nate in the town hall but he can't find him and he also isn't answering his phone. Moira wonders if Nicola has got her wires crossed about Nate going for custody of Frankie but Cain believes it's the only resoable explination. As they are about to leave, Moira spots Tracy entering the town hall wearing a wedding dress alongside Frankie and a man in a suit. Cain and Moira conclude Nate is planning to stop Tracy's wedding so they decide to stop him before he has the chance.
Part Two:
When Nate arrives at the town hall, he isn't best pleased to see Cain and Moira and questions what they're doing there. Cain tells Nate they're saving him from himself then he grabs his eldest son by the collar and tries to manhandle him into the back of the farm delivery van. During the struggle, Nate is accidentally knocked out when Moira opens the van's back door but she and Cain manage to get him in the back then speed off. Dan fills Mandy in on PC Swirling's visit. Cain and Moira arrive back at Tall Trees Cottage and let a dazed Nate out of the van. Nate questions what they've done. Cain tells Nate he's not having him wreck Tracy's wedding day. Nate blurts out it was his wedding day and rushes off. Laurel encourages Jai to talk to Rishi, half-heartedly threatening to cancel their wedding if he doesn't. As Nate rushes to the bus stop, Cain and Moira chase after him. Moira profusely apologises but Cain still believes Nate is lying and Tracy is marrying someone else. The bus draws up, but Nate misses it leaving him crestfallen. As the bus drives away, Tracy is standing there in her wedding dress and questions Nate if he just jilted her. Rishi tries to talk to Jai over lunch but Jai isn't in the mood. Cain and Moira realise they've messed up. As a seething Tracy tends to Nate's injuries, she tells Cain and Moira they owe them for ruining their big day. Moira queries why they kept it all a secret and promises to make it up to them. Nate explains they didn't want a fuss or any pressure as it was stressful enough getting back together. As they are talking, Cain spots a delivery man leaving the church and gets an idea. Cain enlists Charles to give Nate and Tracy a blessing in the church and they can make it official tomorrow. Nate and Tracy agree. Liam admits to Wendy he thought she was going to end their affair earlier. Nate and Tracy exchange their vows in the church in front of Cain, Moira, and Frankie. When Charles refuses to pronounce them husband and wife as he's only performing a blessing, Cain does it instead then Tracy and Nate kiss.
