In a bid to heal their relationship, Jack and Diane agree to keep one night a week aside just for them.

Meanwhile Val is convinced that Diane's mystery man is Gray. She relays this theory to a frustrated Billy when she visits him in prison. Her refusal to drop the subject causes them to argue, resulting in Val flippantly accusing him of being jealous. The expression on his face tells her everything she needs to know. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but how far will a devastated Val go?

Elsewhere the King brothers are surprised when Kelly brings Rodney and Paul to them advising that they'll be joining the stag party (acting as her eyes and ears).

However, their presence proves useless when the group descends upon a strip club regardless and a horrified Jimmy finds himself tricked into having a lap dance. However, the dancer proves revealing in more ways than one…

Meanwhile Gray throws Perdy when he introduces her to a surrogacy website. Is she ready to share his enthusiasm?

When she later disappears, Diane panics and rushes home expecting Val to be there revealing all to Jack. Will blood prove thicker than water for Val or is Diane's world about to come crashing down around her ?

Over at Home Farm, Jimmy is nursing a sore head following the previous night's festivities. Suspecting the worse, Kelly's fears are confirmed when Paul and Rodney confirm that Jimmy had a private dance.

When a furious Kelly confronts the hungover stag, he's forced to reveal that the lap dancer revealed nothing more than her identity, and was Lexi. Can Kelly keep this sexy secret to herself?

Elsewhere Sam tells Pollard of his plans to move into his own place, and asks if he has any work going. Unable to help, Pollard suggests that if he's ever going to afford to go it alone, he has to withdraw from the Dingle family pot. Will this one small step for Sam go unchallenged by the fiercely tight knit family?


5th October

Jimmy tries to encourage Carrie to go and make peace with Lexi at the club. Already late to meet Kelly to write their wedding vows, Jimmy turns down Carrie's request that he goes with her. Meanwhile, Kelly is furious that Carrie was the reason for his tardiness and proves difficult to placate.

Later, a distressed Carrie tells Jimmy that she inadvertently got Lexi sacked at the club and talks him into a glass of wine and a shoulder to cry on. When a grateful Carrie leans in to thank him with a kiss, will Jimmy respond in kind?

Elsewhere Debbie is upset when Kelly rubs it in that Scott's been in touch with both herself and Viv and is sharing a bed with his flatmate's sister.

Realising that Debbie could prove dangerous, Kelly enlists Eli's help in retrieving the picture. Will the errant Dingle save the day?

Meanwhile, Victoria is worried when Daz informs her that her head of year is coming over at lunchtime to see Jack. Is the terrible teen about to add to Jack's woes?
