Episode 2996 (4th September 2001)

==Plot==
Part One: Terry tells Chris that he has heard Zoe and Charity have had another fight in The Woolpack. Chris thinks this is good news and would explain Charity's behaviour to him last night. Sam lifts one of the floorboards in Cain's room and finds a large bundle of money. Zak almost catches him with it. Robert tries to make things difficult for Andy by arranging a meal out for him and Katie at Chez Marlon, believing Andy won't have the money to pay for it. Andy suggests he and Katie go out tonight. Zoe tells Chris she is going on a business trip for a few days. Sean shows Len a letter from the court with the date for his hearing. Lisa tries to apologise to Sean about Cain's behaviour but Sean doesn't want to hear it. Sam confronts Cain about his find under the floorboards. Cain tells him to leave well alone and threatens Sam that if he tells Zak there will be trouble coming his way. Cain then finds Charity in the pub and the pair exchange words as Cain congratulations her for kicking Chris into touch. Chris tells Terry to cancel an appointment he has as he heads off to do something more important. Charity tells Chloe she has decided to leave the village. Chloe tries to persuade her to stay but Charity has made up her mind. Chris drives into the village and spots her. He asks to talk to her again and sort things out. Charity tells him she is leaving. They argue and Charity storms off toward the B&B. Chris continues to shout after her, eventually shouting a proposal of marriage. Charity is stunned.
Part Two: Charity tells Chloe that Chris has just proposed to her. Chloe is gobsmacked. Zak and Lisa tell Sam and Cain they want them both to start getting along with each other. Chloe tries to point out what life would be life in years to come with a disabled husband to Charity. Chris waits with Terry for Charity's decision. The phone rings, they think it might be her but are disappointed when the call is for Zoe. In Connelton View, Charity is changing her mind every second. She decides to open another bottle of wine to help her decide. Robert is waiting tables inside Chez Marlon to Andy's surprise as he arrives with Katie for their meal. Chris wonders whether to find Charity and see if she has made a decision yet. Terry advises against this and Chris takes his advice. Kathy serves Katie and Andy their meal in Chez Marlon. Robert gloats that they've ordered the most expensive dish and doesn't believe Andy can pay. Charity talks to Chloe about her life on the game. She assures Chloe she could marry Chris and love him. Chloe asks her if she is marrying Chris for his money. Charity replies no. In Chez Marlon, Andy pays for his and Katie's meal and gives Robert a tip. Robert is gutted to find out he does have the money to pay after all. Charity arrives at Home Farm with a suitcase. She wants Chris to ask her again to be his wife. Chris asks and Charity says yes. They kiss and Chris sheds a tear.
