Emmerdale's Charity Dingle makes a desperate plea in
Though Charity Dingle was hoping that the plan to find Sarah a surrogate would fall apart, the gran has done a 360.
She's now all in with the idea and, along with Sarah's grandad Cain, AKA Grumpy, is on a mission to help their desperate granddaughter become a mum.
So far, however, they've encountered roadblock after roadblock as the surrogate agencies won't take on Sarah because of her illnesses.
Determined to find a solution, Charity thinks she's cracked it and, without consulting a soul, she asks single mum Vic if she'll carry a baby for Sarah!
Victoria's utterly thrown and doesn't know how to respond.
As Vic digests the bombshell request, Charity carries on with the hard sell, telling Vic she's the only chance Sarah's got.
What will Vic do?
Later, Charity and Cain collude and agree to continue pushing as hard as they can to make Sarah's motherhood dream come true.
Over at the cafe it's all change now Lewis is on board and working with Nicola.
Already a smash with the customers, Lewis continues to make his mark and proudly shows his brother Ross a new menu he's devised.
As the villagers flock to feast on his delicious new dishes, Nicola fumes that her absent partner Brenda is reaping the rewards while gadding about abroad.
But a shock is coming Nicola's way…

Charity Dingle makes a life-changing offer
When Charity Dingle asked Vic to be Sarah's surrogate, she didn't really stop to think about the consequences.
But the impulsive gran is put firmly in the picture when Robert storms over with his sister Vic and lays into Charity about the idea.
Listening in, it's news to Sarah, too. She's furious that her gran approached Vic without talking to her about it.
It's a kick in the guts for Charity who's only trying to help.
Cain's also trying to realise Sarah's dream and he's not faring any better. As a potential surrogate fails to turn up for an initial meeting, Sarah resigns herself that it's just not going to happen.
Without thinking, shotgun Charity strikes again but this time offers her own body, offering to carry Sarah's baby…
How will Sarah react?
Down the road, secret killer John is having a nightmare.
He's in a right tangle as he hasn't been able to change his husband Aaron's mind about attending Nate's upcoming funeral no matter Tracy's ban. And with Cain still convinced that Tracy killed his son there's no sign of the war subsiding.
At work, John checks out the patients' list and is shocked to spot Owen's name on there. Having caught him trying to date rape Robert, John fumes at the sight of him.
At first, Owen doesn't recognise John but the memory of their clash soon clicks in as he's ejected from the surgery!
Though there's no love lost between the Sugden brothers, Robert's grateful when he sees John manhandling Owen.
Aaron's pleased to see his husband and ex-husband getting along. But it's all an act especially for Robert who still doesn't trust a bone in John's body.

The Dingles host Nate's memorial in the Woolie
With the Dingles having been banned from attending Nate's funeral, the family holds a memorial in the Woolpack.
Cain's not coping and is still fuming with Tracy for denying him a chance to attend his son's service. There's no love lost between the bitter pair who have both accused each other of Nate's unsolved murder.
Though Caleb's efforts pay off just as Cain starts to relax, Cara arrives and has a go at him, infuriated to see her ex looking so happy when their son is dead.
Meanwhile, Sam's all ears when she finds out that Tracy is set to inherit Nate's life insurance. Deciding that gives her a motive for the murder they've all accused her of, Sam tells Cain who agrees.
Exploding in rage, Cain blasts at Tracy informing her they'll all be attending Nate's funeral whether she likes it or not.
Charity and Cain discuss her shock offer to be their granddaughter's surrogate. Cain warns his ex that she needs to tell her husband Mack about it.
But's a case of 'ma?ana' for Charity when Sarah goes on to learn her gran's done nothing of the sort.

Wow Charity trying to guilt Vic to carry a baby to turn over is really harsh. I personally couldn't give away I felt moving inside me.
