Episode 6459 (24th January 2013)

==Plot ==
Jai panics when Rachel asks what he has to say. He apologises before walking out of the pub. Soon afterwards, Charity is angry with Jai for the scene he has just caused. She makes it clear that it's not okay for him to keep behaving this way. When Jai tells Rishi about what happened in the pub, Rishi suggests that he should go to France for the business meeting instead of Nikhil, to give him some time away to think. Later, Jai goes to see Rachel and apologises for earlier, telling her that he's going away for a while to get his head round things. At Holdgate Farm, Charity is angry when Jai suggests a month in France, asking him what Noah does about school and who would run her business. She tells him to go without her and have a think about what he wants. At the same time, Rachel is grateful to Sam and he opens up to her about how he's changed since Alice died. Meanwhile, as the interviews begin at Home Farm, Alicia can't believe it when Nicola shows Priya in. In the interview, Alicia is pleased with herself as she answers the questions honestly. Megan likes her more and more, but Nicola seems unimpressed. Soon it is Priya's turn and she gets off to a shaky start in her interview, having been unnerved by Alicia's optimism, but she starts to win Megan round. Later in The Woolpack, Alicia tells Val that she hopes Priya doesn't get the job. Val tells Priya the best woman will win, leaving her guilty about Alicia. Priya feels even guiltier when Nicola informs her that she's got the job and hands her an envelope with the details. Elsewhere, Belle feels pressure to kiss Luke when Gemma and Austin kiss, Lisa worries at the speed at which Belle is growing up when Luke describes himself as Belle's boyfriend, while Jimmy tells an unimpressed Nicola that he has to go to Belgium on business and she is annoyed that he is leaving her with Thomas.
