==Plot==
Mackenzie lets himself into a dirty Jacobs Fold to speak to Charity about their job today. Chas and Paddy spend their first day as husband and wife opening their wedding presents. Cain and Jamie have a run in on Main Street. Kim witnesses the exchange and warns Cain against ridiculing her family again. Al gifts Priya lingerie to make up for abandoning her yesterday. Afterward, Priya tries to talk to Al about his adoptive parents but Al dodges the questions. Chas informs Cain she and Paddy got married after all and Paddy is taking the Dingle name. Cain is happy for them. As they are talking, Chas spots Cain is wearing his wedding ring again so offers him her congratulations. Charity fakes a breakdown on a narrow country road. A van stops and the driver gets out and offers to help. Whilst the driver looks at Charity's car, a balaclava clad Mackenzie emerges armed with a baseball bat. The driver spots Mackenzie and questions who he is. Charity claims he's her boyfriend but the driver knows she's lying. When Mackenzie produces the baseball bat, the unintimidated driver steps towards him so Charity grabs a wrench and bashes the driver over the head, knocking him unconscious. Priya decides to invite Al's adoptive parents to the wedding and asks Ellis if he has their phone number. Mackenzie and Charity transfer the contents of the hijacked van to their van, bickering and flirting as they work. The driver comes around and grabs the baseball from the ground then orders Charity and Mackenzie to get into the back of his van. Charity refuses. She tries to talk her way out of trouble just as Aaron comes upon the scene. Aaron instructs the driver to reload the car parts back onto his truck, promising to keep an eye on Charity and Mackenzie whilst he does so. As the driver places the first box back into his van, Aaron and Mackenzie lock him inside. Back at Jacobs Fold, Mackenzie frets the driver may have seen one of their registration plates whilst Aaron is furious at being dragged into Charity and Mackenzie illegal activities. As Aaron walks out, Charity begs him not to tell Cain about this as Noah and Sarah can't find out. Kim acquires a divorce lawyer for Jamie then orders her son to get his act together and toughen up. Mackenzie calls in past the Mill and tries to recruit Aaron to join his schemes but Aaron isn't interested. Paddy surprises Chas with a honeymoon in the Cotswolds. At the HOP, Al calls Debbie but their phone call is cut short when Ellis appears. Al lies he was talking to his father, so when Al leaves the room, Ellis grabs his dad's phone and notes down the number of the most recent contact. Mackenzie returns to Jacobs Fold where he and Charity continue to bicker before heading upstairs.
