Val (Charlie Hardwick) schemes to throw Paul (Mathew Bose) a divorce party to cheer him up. However, Rodney (Patrick Mower) fumes at the tackiness of the occasion and worries that Paul will be upset. Elsewhere in the village Lily (Anne Charleston) is forced to change her plans to engineer a meeting between Paul and Jonny when Paul asks to meet her in the pub. She stations Leyla (Rokhsaneh Ghawam-Shahidi) in the café to look out for Jonny, but is unaware of the significance when Patricia (Vicki Michelle) arrives instead. Back at the Woolpack, Paul enters in horror as he’s greeted by a troupe of male dancers. Rodney anticipates Paul’s reaction all too well as he berates his mother.

However, when Scarlett (Kelsey-Beth Crossley) sends a quotation to a client using the old King & Sons logo Carl is furious as it puts the client off.

Eli (Joseph Gilgun) tells Marlon (Mark Charnock) that Donna (Verity Rushworth) deserves a second chance since she forgave him over the bungled burglary. Marlon tells Donna he is willing to give their marriage another go as long as she promises to be honest with him and pretend that Ross (Samuel Anderson) no longer exists. As a happy Marlon heads to work Donna receives a visitation letter from Ross. Unbeknownst to Marlon, Donna visits Ross in prison and he asks her to visit Jasmine (Jenna-Louise Coleman) and find out why she lied to the police.
Donna returns to the village and notices an emotional exchange between Jasmine and Ashley (John Middleton). Despite harbouring doubts over whether Jasmine has the capacity to lie to the police Donna questions Jasmine. When Donna mentions that Ross could face life in prison Jasmine begins to crack. However, Debbie (Charley Webb) returns to the house in the nick of time and Donna is stunned to sense that she and Jasmine are not only hiding something, but Debbie is actively warning her off. Will Donna dig deeper and risk ruining her reconciliation with Marlon?
The morning after the night before, Val (Charlie Hardwick) has a mountain to climb in order to build bridges with Paul (Mathew Bose). While many of Val’s words of comfort only serve to dig her hole deeper, Lily (Anne Charleston) is able to make amends with Paul. As he pours his heart out over Jonny’s decision, Lily suggests he go and visit him. Despite Paul arguing that Jonny went away without telling him, Lily is determined to act. Meanwhile, Val refuses to give up on her son too and invites Patricia (Vicki Michelle) over. After apologising she’s shocked when Patricia admits that Jonny is still in love with Paul. When Paul returns Patricia hands him Jonny’s address in Australia. Later, Lily gives Paul some money to buy a ticket to Sydney so he can chase Jonny. Will Paul leave Emmerdale in search of love?

She immediately goes to find Rodney (Patrick Mower) and he’s shocked to realise that nobody can find Paul. While Val elaborately complains she’s lost her son, Rodney finds him at Home Farm helping Katie (Sammy Winward). Telling him that Val knows, Paul goes to the pub for a showdown. When Rodney defends Paul’s decision to go Val slams his fair-weather parenting. Rodney gives Paul his blessing and leaves. A desperate Val lies to Paul that Rodney has a serious heart condition to make him stay. Will Paul be convinced by his mother’s black lie?
Meanwhile, Debbie (Charley Webb) is furious when she discovers that Jasmine (Jenna-Louise Coleman) is planning to follow Ashley (John Middleton) and Laurel to their new home in Leeds.

Will Debbie allow Jasmine to leave her in the lurch?
Also, Lisa (Jane Cox) accuses Aaron (Danny Miller) of stealing from the family pot but he brushes her off with his cocky attitude. As Lisa is about to question Chas (Lucy Pargeter) she owns up to taking the money herself, insisting it was a loan. Lisa believes she’s covering for Aaron. Her theory is proved right when, unbeknownst to the other Dingles, Chas pays back the money and then quizzes Aaron about that he did with it.
