Episode 10101 (14th August 2020)

## Plot

Mary is still winding up Sean with her Italian balcony singing. On his wedding day, Gary collects the buttonholes from the florists where a passing Adam taunts him that he's marrying the wrong woman. Tim has slept in the spare room and is hardly on speaking terms with Sally. She apologises for not consulting him before giving the wedding money away. He refuses to go ahead with his remarriage saying there's no point. Abi tells Seb that she now realises she has to say goodbye to the twins before they leave and begs him to speak to the social worker on her behalf. Emma and Carla help Maria prepare for her wedding but Gary has trouble drumming up any enthusiasm. Chesney is troubled when Gemma tells him about her contact with Vanessa and that they're meeting at Victoria Gardens later. Alya apologises to Sally for the trouble she's causing in her relationship with Tim, but she lays the blame firmly at Geoff's door. Chesney tells Bernie about Vanessa's return. Mary calls in the factory and shows Sean the fleecy blanket she ordered online, covered in images of Ben Shephard. She explains that Ben is the love of her life but she's willing to share him to cheer him up. Sean's speechless. Bernie meets Vanessa and warns her to stay away from her daughter. Audrey is forced to cry off with a stomach bug and Maria asks a reluctant David to witness her wedding instead. Gary calls at No.8 to ask Sarah exactly what she told Adam. Geoff lets himself into No.4 and taunts Sally for her and Tim's relationship breakdown. Faye comes downstairs unseen and is shocked when she overhears his words. Geoff is forced to apologise but his granddaughter is unimpressed and shows him out of the house on Sally's instructions. Sarah insists she told Adam nothing but he is convinced she is still in love with Gary. She mentions Gary's own declaration of love to her, just as David walks into the house and hears what his sister said.
