==Plot==
Liam fears Gabby's accusations could ruin him but Leyla insists he should've thought about that before and kept his grubby hands to himself. Liam tries to explain what's really been going on but Leyla doesn't believe a word. She orders Liam to get out and stay away from Gabby. In the Hide, Priya tells Manpreet how Al freaked out when she mentioned marriage. Manpreet advises Priya to talk to Al. Leanna's upset Jacob told her about his move to Portugal via text message so Jacob invites her to join him for a holiday. Leanna tries to asks Liam for his permission but quickly realises Liam has much bigger worries. Gabby watches on as a broken Liam tells Leanna about the allegations against him. Leanna assures her father that everything will be fine but Liam can't see how as people will believe Gabby's lies. Al tells Ellis that Priya said she wanted to get married one day and he didn't handle it well. Ellis reminds Al he's happier with Priya than he ever was with Jessie and warns his father that he needs to decide that he wants otherwise he could lose Priya. Aaron spots Ben in Main Street and attempt to avoid him but is unable. Ben apologises for jumping to conclusions and invites Aaron for a drink but Aaron turns him down. In the shop, Leyla frets about Gabby to David. Laurel overhears and questions what's going on so Leyla's forced to reveal that Liam has been coming onto Gabby. At that moment, Gabby walks in and admits nothing happened between her and Liam - she was angry so she went along with Leyla's wrong assumptions. David and Leyla are disgusted and question why Gabby would lie about something like this after what they went through with Jacob and Maya. Gabby protests she's sorry and she didn't mean for it to get this far. A furious Leyla demands an explanation so Gabby admits it was easier than telling her what she's really being doing. Before Gabby leaves the shop, she asks Leyla if she and Liam were so perfect then why did she take her word over his. Al finds Priya in the office and explains how commitment scares him after his relationship with Jessie but he wants them to be happy so he gets down on one knee and asks Priya to marry him. Ben bumps into Aaron again and again invites him for a drink. Aaron turns him down. Cain worries about other people's opinions on him and Moira reuniting. Moira states they're all that matters, not what anyone else thinks. Aaron apologises to Ben for his attitude earlier and suggests they have a drink as mates sometime. Ben agrees. Leyla shouts an apology through the letterbox of Tenant House. Leanna answers the door and orders Leyla to get lost. When Liam appears, Leyla begs him to hear her out but Liam states there's no point. Al and Priya announce their engagement to Rishi, Manpreet and Ellis. Rishi is shocked at first but quickly accepts the news when Priya states she's happy. Al's phone rings so heads to the privacy of the office to take the call. He tells the person on the other end of the line that he's sorry that the hotel cancelled but he's found them somewhere incredible before ending the call by telling the person he loves them. Afterward, Al rejoins the group and toasts to his and Priya's engagement.
