Lexi proposes to Carl
Airs on Monday, February 2 2009 at 19:00 GMT on ITV1
Carl puts more pressure on Chas to get his money but she threatens to tell Lexi about their kiss if he doesn’t back off. Carl agrees to defer until Debbie is released but Lexi is suspicious.
Once they’re alone, Lexi moans that Carl always gives Chas too much leeway and questions his motives. Carl refuses to answer and leaves Lexi even more obsessive.
At the factory, Lisa gloats over Carl’s decision and states that Lexi will always be a second rate to Chas in Carl’s eyes. Her head spinning, Lexi decides to cook Carl a romantic meal and asks him whether he loves her. Carl tells her he does and so Lexi proposes to him.
As Carl hesitates, Lexi says that she knows everything about him (referring to Tom King's murder) and they can make it work. With his back against the wall Carl has no option but to accept. Has he made an almighty mistake?
Meanwhile, Aaron suggests that Paddy give Chas some time off to score brownie points. However, Paddy grows frustrated with Aaron who offers to cover the vets only to spend the morning making personal calls.
When Aaron’s tardiness leads to Paddy losing a customer, he decides action must be taken. Sick of Aaron’s blackmail, Paddy decides to be honest with Chas but stops himself when he sees how down she is.
Pleased with himself, Paddy goes to comfort Marlon following Donna’s departure. Marlon is grateful for the support but worries what Paddy will think when he finds out about the drunken fumble with Chas. Realising that Katie knows, Marlon asks her not to tell anyone in case Paddy finds out. Katie retorts by saying Bob also knows and Marlon panics that soon the secret will be all over the village. Does he have the guts to tell Paddy himself?
Elsewhere, Diane grows concerned when Lisa tells her that Andy hasn’t visited Sarah. Visiting him, Diane is shocked by the state of Butlers and warns Andy that he must pull himself together to get Sarah back. With that in mind, she organises an appointment with Lisa for that afternoon. However, after a day tending to problems on the farm Andy arrives at the Dingles' too late to see Sarah.
Andy tries to complain that he needs regular access, but Lisa insists that he sort himself out or he’ll never see her at all.

One-hour episode
Marlon confides in Paddy that he slept with Chas. Paddy is hurt and storms out. Arriving back at the surgery, Paddy is appalled to find Aaron giving a bag of drugs to a dodgy friend. Both lads leg it before Paddy can stop them. Chas is taken aback when Paddy tells her about the robbery but refuses to talk to him about it after news reaches her of Carl and Lexi’s engagement. She retreats to the Dingles', only to find Aaron stashing his profits. When Chas claims the money, Aaron attacks her, only to be hauled off by an angry Zak.
When Aaron shows Zak his vulnerable side, he decides to give him once last chance and tells them to return to the homestead. Chas returns to Paddy’s to collect her belongings and she’s stunned when Paddy admits his feelings for her. With a wealth of other problems on her mind, Chas can’t respond and leaves. Can Chas get back on track with Paddy and Aaron?
Also, Lisa informs Diane about Andy’s late show and reiterates her threat to prevent further access. She offers Mick some more work to ease the pressure at Butlers. Andy is furious with her for going over his head but Diane is adamant he accepts the help.
Mick battles against Andy’s nonchalance and when Mark calls round for the rent, Andy’s day gets even worse. Even a surprise visit from Diane and Sarah can’t raise his mood. Mark is the latest member of the community to instruct Andy to get his house in order or face eviction. Later, Andy tells Diane he wants to quit the farm as he will never be able to raise Sarah alone too.
Meanwhile, with no word forthcoming from Terry, Brenda decides to send him an email to find out what’s going on. Bob complains to Gennie that Brenda’s neediness is driving him up the wall and an overhearing Leyla offers to give her a massage to ease the tension. Brenda is highly sceptical but agrees to go along with it, soon enjoying the experience.
Afterwards, Leyla applies a face pack to Gennie and Brenda, who ignore the interesting smell of the cream. However, Brenda soon breaks out in a rash and Leyla is forced to admit she borrowed the cream from Pearl’s bathroom. They discover it was corn cream and Brenda is left looking literally red faced.

Gennie and Leyla are in Brenda’s bad books following the aromatherapy fiasco. When it transpires that Leyla has spent the money Gennie paid her for the treatment, Gennie angrily states that they’re no longer friends. Bob tries to cheer Brenda up by setting up a webcam so she can talk to Terry.
After speaking with him, Brenda is surprised when TJ steps in front of the webcam. She’s stunned when TJ announces that neither he nor his dad are missing her and would rather stay with Jean. Brenda is deeply upset and tries drinking her troubles away, only for Doug to rescue her.
After he takes her home, Brenda tries to kiss him but Doug pulls away not wanting to take advantage. Will Brenda forsake Terry for Doug?
Elsewhere, Zak begins to integrate Aaron into the family by arranging a shift at Debbie’s garage, despite Lisa’s reservations. Under Daz’s supervision, Aaron sets about washing cars but Daz decides to play a prank on him.
Telling Aaron to jack up an expensive car, Daz instructs him to put the car in reverse and floor it to make the clock go back. However the car slips from the jack and flies into a wall, much to Lisa’s horror. When she tries to frogmarch Aaron home, Daz jumps to his defence and accepts the blame.
Unfortunately Chas hears half of the story and rails at Aaron for his behaviour, only to backtrack when Lisa fills her in. Aaron isn’t interested in her apologies and it seems as though the warring mother and son are back to square one.
Also, Leyla eagerly looks forward to attending the gig with David and it seems that romance is in the air. Pollard voices his frustration with David dating a member of the help, but is given short shrift by his son. David is steaming drunk by the end of the night and Leyla enlists a random friend Skin to take them home.
Lily is not amused when Leyla brings Skin back to the house but he soon charms her. Will Skin get in the way of Leyla and David’s romance?
