Eli and Danielle are reconciled following their night of passion. However, Debbie soon arrives and clocks a suspicious bag at Danielle’s feet. When Debbie demands that the Dingles be allowed to inspect the bag, Danielle is instantly cagey. The girls get into a tussle and when the bag’s contents spills over the floor a bag of white powder leaves the Dingles in shock. Danielle explains that she’s stolen the drugs from the infamous MacFarlane family. Zak is furious and, with Debbie’s support, wants to kick Danielle out but Eli makes the point that they’d be condemning her to death. Meanwhile, Pearl agrees to check on Lily following Edna’s concerns but is cut down by Lily’s tongue. After a morning spent entering competitions, Pearl returns to Edna and suggests that Lily is experiencing financial problems. Lily gives Edna short shrift when confronted about the issue, but Edna remains convinced that something is amiss. Elsewhere, Jo suggests that Andy attends anger management classes when she sees a leaflet at the doctor’s surgery. She is disappointed when he rebukes the suggestion but knows to let it drop. After confiding in Diane, Jo is worried to hear that she has taken Andy aside and hinted that he’s not doing enough to look after her. Jo lies that she’s been having headaches and that the doctor has told her to avoid getting stressed in her condition. Andy feels bad and agrees to give a class later that day a go.. When Andy arrives home he lies that he found the class helpful after deciding not to go. Andy squirms as Jo is grateful sure it will make a difference to their future.

The Dingles are in no mood for niceties as Danielle is packed off to the train station. In the van Danielle lies that she’s got lots of contacts in London to keep her above water but Zak and Eli’s consciences are pricked. However, when Eli pulls over for a toilet stop, Shane arrives and inspects the van, finding Danielle. After inspecting her belongings, Shane discovers the drugs and arrests Danielle. Eli is furious and accuses Debbie of tipping off the police. The Dingles are shocked when Eli starts trashing the homestead and realise how much he cared about Danielle. When Chas hears Ross is looking for a date to the police comedy ball she makes it clear she is available in both senses of the word. She’s confused when Ross initially rebuffs her advances. Ross wavers but then begins to warm to Chas’ light relief. When Chas asks Ross if they can go back to his place, Ross’ feeble defences are broken and the pair leave together. Also, Lily gets on the money trail by entering a radio trivia competition. Despite Pearl researching answers in an encyclopaedia, Lily fluffs the last question and gets only a car sticker for her troubles. Crushed, Lily admits to Pearl about Peter being on the verge of financial ruin.
Wednesday 1 Oct
Ross is wracked with guilt after spending the night with Chas and hurt when she tells him he’s a long way from being able to commit to anyone. Donna is rocked to hear about it, but when she mentions it to Ross she is stung when he defends that she can’t have it both ways - she can’t reject him and then complain because he sleeps with someone else. Dismissive Donna hopes he’ll be very happy with Chas sure they deserve each other. Ross is left utterly frustrated as Donna holds back her jealousy. Later, he takes Chas up on her offer of accompanying him to the police function. At the Dingles, Eli ignores Debbie’s protestations of innocence and continues to blame her for Danielle’s plight. He heads into the village and Shane hints that Danielle has been taken to London in connection with other acts of crime. Eli announces he’s going after her and is moved when Lisa informs him that she will go with him. Lisa is sure that by accompanying him will stop him from getting into any unnecessary trouble. Elsewhere, Lily continues to put on a brave face, but Pearl sees straight through it. When Lily is sent home from the factory due to her arthritis, Pearl suggests they visit the pharmacy, claiming she is neither use nor ornament to Peter if she can’t get to work. Lily begrudgingly concedes, but is riled later when Pearl shares the information with Edna.

Marlon surprises Donna with a new dress and announces that he is taking her to the police fundraising ball and there will be no discussion. Marlon and Donna arrive at the function at the same time as Ross and Chas. Donna avoids Ross’ gaze, determined to have a fantastic night with her husband. Shane offers his encouragement to Donna, but she feels awkward when Vaughan makes it clear that he wants Donna to change her mind about her resignation. As Donna catches up with colleagues Marlon joins Chas at the bar who is watching Ross enjoying dancing with and then kissing an attractive female colleague, Charlotte. When she tries to leave, Chas is collared by the compere and forced into taking the open mic comedy spot. Marlon is cringing as he watches his cousin struggling with an unruly crowd but not prepared to give up Chas switches to a comic confessional tirade directed at the compere and starts to get laughs. After eventually going down a storm, Chas leaves the stage on a high. However, when Ross continues to ignore her, she tells him that he is dumped. More than tipsy, Chas and Marlon get into an argument with the irate compere and when Marlon throws a punch at him they are thrown out. Marlon apologises to Donna urging her to stay and enjoy the rest of the night. Later that evening after sharing a dance, Ross walks Donna to her room. It isn’t long before Ross is at her door again and he and Donna are lying on the bed relaxed in each others company. Outside in the corridor Shane passes Charlotte who moots that if he is looking for Ross he isn’t in his room. Back in Donna’s room, she and Ross are alarmed when there is a knock at the door but the pair fall into each other’s arms rather than answer it. Things get passionate then Ross leans over to turn off the lamp. Both are unaware Shane is outside the room with a knowing smile. At Home Farm, Katie is furious with Nicola’s presence and Anna is forced to apologise after admitting she convinced Matthew to hire her. To make amends, Anna offers Katie a new client for the stables. After spotting his daughter later cosying up to Matthew, Donald warns Anna against mixing business with pleasure.
