==Plot==
Laurel is on edge ahead of receiving the CVS test results. Jai promises they'll be okay. At Woodbine Cottage, Dawn researches infertility before her ultrasound appointment to assess how much damage the PID and chlamydia has done to her reproductive system. David invites Leyla to spent Christmas with him but Leyla resolves to spend the day alone. At the hospital, a Nurse Specialist informs Laurel and Jai that their baby has Down Syndrome. An emotional Laurel isn't surprised by the confirmation whilst Jai is numb and struggles to take it in. Dawn returns home and informs Harriet she's been given the all clear. Soon conversation turns to Malone but Harriet orders Dawn to not even think about the bent-copper and instead enjoy her clean bill of health. Once Dawn goes upstairs, Harriet calls Bishop Grey and leaves a message about Richard Thomason's exhumation request. Jai and Laurel struggle to come to terms with their baby's diagnosis. Laurel is adamant the children can't find out she's pregnant and suggests Jai spend some time at Holdgate Farm for a few days. Meanwhile at Mulberry Cottage, Gabby searches for hints about her birthday and Christmas present. When she looks through Jai's briefcase, she finds Laurel's ultrasound scan photo. David calls by the Take A Vow office and demands Leyla spend Christmas with him, Meena and Theo. A heartbroken Leyla would rather be alone but David won't let that happen. He reminds Leyla she did the right thing in believing Gabby's allegations against Liam. Leyla knows that but it doesn't stop her from examining what she could've done differently that wouldn't have resulted in the end of her relationship. When Laurel and Jai return to Mulberry Cottage, Gabby and Arthur reveal they found the ultrasound scan then Arthur present Laurel with a card that he and Dotty made for her. A stressed Harriet leaves the Bishop another message about Richard Thomason's exhumation. Laurel instructs Gabby to keep the news of the pregnancy to herself. Gabby picks up on Laurel's hesitance about the baby so reminds her that if this isn't what she wants, she's got the right to choose whether or not to proceed with the pregnancy. At Woodbine Cottage, Harriet explains to Bishop Grey that people in the village are upset about the exhumation; the Bishop counters that she hasn't received a single call or tweet objecting to it. The Bishop soon realises Harriet isn't her usual self and asks if Will is still around. Right on cue, Will walks in. Once the Bishop has left, Harriet breaks down and declares she can't cope anymore. She explains to Will that the grave where they buried Malone in is going to be opened. Through her tears, she begs Will to help her. After sending the children out, Laurel has a go at Jai for leaving the ultrasound where it could've been found. Jai protests he wasn't expecting his briefcase to be rifled through. Laurel is upset Jai kept the scan photo in the first place. She tells Jai she's making her feel pressured then storms out...
