On Monday, Jai and Nikhil’s sister Priya arrives in the village wearing last night’s clubbing clothes. Not having enough money to pay the taxi driver, she asks a gobsmacked Jamie and Gennie to lend her the money.

She introduces herself to Eli and instantly recruits him as a drinking partner and they head to the pub. Priya drunkenly challenges Eli to a game of truth and dare and it isn’t long before he dares her to dance on a car. Obliging Priya starts dancing on the roof of Ashley’s car, despite the alarm going off.

Alerted by the commotion, Ashley dashes out and is furious about the damage Priya’s done to his car. As Nikhil and Jai arrive and try to appease him, it’s clear they are used to their sister’s behaviour.

Meanwhile, Scarlett returns home and is furious to find Carl is not only back, but has moved Chas into Mill Cottage.

On Tuesday, at the factory interviews, Laurel pales when she realises Nikhil and Jai are the factory owners. Ignoring Nikhil’s dislike of Laurel, Jai is impressed with her interview.

Faye is thrilled to be the PA and Lisa, Eli and Gennie are also happy to be given jobs packing sweets. Nikhil feels undermined that his views have been ignored, and he warns Jai not to get above his station or he’ll be fired. Nikhil reminds his brother that he’s the boss and warns him never to forget it. Jai nods his head but when Nikhil leaves, his expression changes to one of amused knowing.

Elsewhere, Bob admits to Gennie that he doesn’t want her seeing Jamie, but, sick of his interference, Gennie’s determined to make her date with Jamie a success. Before they leave for their date, Gennie tells Jamie to ignore Bob’s advice. Sure he’s not the world authority on relationships, Jamie agrees. After a walk the couple are clearly enjoying each other’s company as they head to the pub. Delighted to hear she’s got the factory job, Jamie kisses Gennie. Aware Bob’s watching, they kiss for his benefit then continue for their own sake.

When Jamie arrives, he’s irritated to see Bob and questions once and for all what his problem is. Jamie’s devastated when Gennie tells him that she and Bob slept together.

Carl tries to reassure Chas everything will be okay, but Chas responds that although she loves him, she thinks she’s made a mistake and should never have moved in.

Meanwhile, Katie and Ryan’s date is going really well until Ryan’s car breaks down. Katie’s furious, sure he’s broken down close to a hotel on purpose.

Aaron heads to Mill cottage on the warpath and bursting through the front door, he’s disgusted to see Chas and Carl together. Chas begs him to listen, pleading that the last thing she wanted to do was hurt him, but Aaron tells her in no uncertain terms that he wants nothing more to do with her.

Meanwhile, Gennie begs Jamie to hear her out, but he walks off telling her she had her chance.

Aaron moves in with the Dingles and Zak tries to talk to Aaron, but all he can say is that Chas has spoilt things for everyone and he’ll never forgive her.

Meanwhile, Bob questions whether Jamie’s going to tell Viv. Eager to understand why Bob cheated on Viv, Jamie questions him about his night with Gennie. Bob’s uncomfortable but Jamie pushes him for answers. When Viv walks in and Bob desperately tries to cover, Jamie leaves in disgust.
