Rishi believes Manpreet is having memory problems due to hormonal changes associated with menopause. Manipulative Meena suggests that could be why Manpreet 'forgot' about Rishi's medication before guilt tripping her sister about the end of her relationship with David.

When Harriet mentions booking him and Chas in for a pre-wedding chat, Paddy reveals he wants it to be a surprise. Harriet reminds Paddy that getting married is for life and they need to be absolutely sure marriage what they both want. Paddy is certain they both do.

Laurel receives a call from the hospital asking her and Jai to go in on Thursday to receive the CVS test results. Dawn is still feeling sick. When she stands to get her and Harriet a coffee, she collapses. Liam walks by as Dawn comes around so checks her over. When Dawn explains her stomach hurt and she felt faint and dizzy, Liam queries if she could be pregnant. Dawn doesn't think so but admits she hasn't always used protection. David approaches Meena in the café and reveals he's spoken to Manpreet. Meena is annoyed David dumped her because Manpreet said something bad about her although David explains he actually dumped her because he was falling for her and it scared him as every time in the past he's felt like this his, his life has ended up in tatters. David invites Meena to spend Christmas with him. Vinny informs Mandy that he's going to hers for Christmas after all. Mandy is ecstatic. Liam advises Dawn to go to A&E immediately due to possibility she could be pregnant in combination with her stomach pain. Manpreet promises Meena never to think the worst of her again. Afterward, Meena returns Manpreet's phone, telling her sister she found it down the side of the couch. A confused Manpreet doesn't understand how it could've gotten there. Marlon can't believe Harriet agreed to marry Chas and Paddy on Christmas Day and desperately tries to talk Paddy out of it but instead Paddy enlists Aaron to help him carry out the surprise. At the hospital, Will and Harriet wait nervously for news of Dawn and her baby. Dawn appears and reveals she's not pregnant and she never was - she's got pelvic inflammatory disease after catching chlamydia from a client.
