Monday
In a bid to change Chas's mind about telling Cain the truth, Moira locks the two of them in the pub cellar, pleading with her not to say anything. Chas maintains her composure, despite anxiety creeping in.
Defeated, Moira leaves a shaken Chas and prepares herself for what's to come. Later, Chas comes to a decision, but will it be to keep their secret safe?
Meanwhile, with his heart set on raising money for The Valerie Pollard foundation, Eric goes about organising a charity skydive, enlisting the help of Rodney to take part and Megan to publicise his record attempt. After passing his medical, Pollard comes clean to Val about his intentions, sparking a heartfelt moment between this stubborn pair.
Elsewhere, as Laurent prepares to leave, he kisses a shocked Kerry. She declares that Dan is the only man for her, unaware that Dan is watching from afar. Later, Dan confronts Kerry about what he saw, but this angers her further as she wonders why he didn't do something about it. Later, Dan confides to Bob that he has big plans that will blow Kerry's mind…
Also today, Donna is relieved when she discovers that Ross took the jewellery to London, covering their tracks. Ross is left disappointed when Donna leaves, not wanting anything more to do with him.
Tuesday
Val is overwhelmed as she sees the enormity of the fundraiser. Georgia lets slip to Val about Pollard's skydive but she is not happy, thinking he is making the day all about him. Eric tries to make Val see why he is taking part, but is left hurt when she tells him that she's no longer a Pollard. Dan and Rodney are then thrown when Pollard decides he's not doing it because of Val's reaction.
Soon afterwards, Val admits to Kerry that she still loves Eric but thinks it's too late. Over at the airfield, Pollard is still refusing to do the skydive.
As the afternoon continues, Val becomes increasingly worried about Eric's skydive and calls for an ambulance on standby, concerned about his heart. Will Pollard go through with the jump? Will Val realise her and Eric are meant to be together? And will Eric's heart be able to cope with the pressures of the day?
Kerry is shocked to see the proposal
Meanwhile, Ali and Bob are taken aback to realise that Dan is doing the skydive to get Kerry to marry him. Later, Val lets slip to Kerry about Dan taking part in the skydive, but she is instantly annoyed that Dan hasn't told her. Stubborn Kerry seems determined not to watch him, but Ali forces Kerry to look to the sky where a falling Dan's parachute reads, "Marry me Kerry". Will Dan's high-flying proposal be enough to win Kerry round?
Elsewhere, Chas agrees to keep James and Moira's secret on the condition that Cain never finds out. James agrees, insisting that he simply wants to get to know Adam better. Later, Chas persuades a reluctant Katie to ask Adam to double date with her and James, hoping the two men may be able to bury the hatchet. However, Adam is annoyed with the plans and struggles to bite his tongue, making quips almost as soon as Chas and James arrive. Chas quickly regrets her meddling when James decides enough is enough and boldly announces that it's time he and Adam sorted things out once and for all. What is he going to say?
Also today, Zak can't believe it when Lisa suggests they do a runner with Belle. Later, Zak shows Lisa a scrapbook Belle has made him, explaining that it is for Fathers' Day but she is giving it to him early just in case. Struck by the very real possibility of Belle going to prison, will Zak change his mind about going on the run with her?
Finally, when Megan offers to mind the factory for a stressed Jai, she takes little time in warning Leyla that she'll be out of a job if she messes around. Will Leyla find a way to get one over on Megan?
Wednesday
Zak is quick to suggest to Lisa that they should start packing, although Lisa is having second thoughts. Sam listens to their plans from the stairs and is pained. Soon afterwards, Sam heads to Home Farm and asks Nicola for an advance on his wages, wanting the money 'to cheer Belle up'.
Back at the Dingles', Zak has gone ahead and packed suitcases, but Lisa stands in his way and insists that they will get through Belle's trial together. At the same time, Sam prints out a ferry boarding pass for Belle. What has he got planned? And will someone cotton on?
Meanwhile, Val tells David that she has a plan and explains that she wants him to keep Eric away from her. Soon afterwards, Pollard arrives back from the hospital and is eager to find Val, worried that he's failed her. Later, after a long wait, Pollard spots Val outside the church and apologises to her. As Val then gets down on one knee, it seems it might be her turn to make a public display of affection.
Elsewhere, Megan attempts to get her revenge on Leyla as she sends her to scrub the factory toilets. Leyla insists she'll have to do more than that if she wants to break her.
Also Moira is unnerved at James and Adam's apparent truce. It's clear the lies are weighing heavily on Moira's shoulders.
Thursday
Belle is shocked as Sam confesses his plan for them to run away to Dublin. Back at the Dingles', Dom bursts in and asks where Belle is, telling Zak and Lisa that he knows they are doing a runner. Lisa and Zak are shocked to discover that Sam is taking Belle to Dublin and Dom is quick to call the police. Zak and Lisa decide to go after them before the police catch Belle doing a runner.
Soon afterwards, Belle forces the truth out of Sam and while he insists that Zak and Lisa would have wanted this, Belle realises they knew nothing of his plan. Will Sam persuade Belle to hotfoot it onto a train and not look back? Or will Belle stand firm and refuse to go? Either way, the pair are sure to be in a whole lot of trouble if the police catch up with them.
Meanwhile, at the church, Pollard is horrified when Val confirms they have written their own vows, having only known about the wedding for five minutes. He gets off to a shaky start but when Harriet encourages him to speak from the heart, things soon improve. A happy Val says her vows to Pollard and Harriet beckons the pair to kiss. Later, the loved-up pair agree they are happy to take things slow, but it seems it may only be a matter of time before they are back to their former passionate selves.
Elsewhere, Harriet informs Ashley that she has been summoned to the church finance committee. He praises her on her first vow renewal and it seems the pair may be close to a kiss.
Also, a tipsy and suspicious Victoria confronts Bernice about Andy, having observed the pair together. Victoria knocks Bernice's confidence, leading her to call things off with him.
Friday
At the Dingles', Sam storms out when Cain complains about him making things worse for Belle. Sean barrels in, wanting to know where Belle is and realises something is wrong.
Later at the court, Lisa is nervous as they wait in the corridor. She is relieved when the solicitor thinks Belle will get off, but Cain's look suggests otherwise. Back at Tenant's, Sean thinks it's pointless going to court as he'll make things worse, but Dan suggests he could be the one to save Belle. Will Sean make it to court? And if he does, will he serve to make things better or worse for his friend?
Meanwhile, Bernice tells Kerry they need to sort the salon out themselves and not rely on men, but as soon as Bernice has gone, Kerry calls Andy. Bernice is unimpressed when she arrives back to see Andy doing the work. Later, Bernice covers her upset when Kerry teases her about having a crush on him. Andy returns to collect his phone and tells Bernice how amazing she is. Will she reconsider her decision?
Elsewhere, Val decides to have a quiet word with Priya about her behaviour when she notes how attached she has become to David.
Also today, Ashley is concerned when Harriet reveals how badly the finance meeting went and is shocked when she wonders if she should leave before she is pushed out. Are his feelings for her growing beyond friendship?
