Aaron and Victoria share a kiss

Mark tells an elated Maisie that his offer on the pub has been accepted. Over at the Woolpack, Val’s plan to convince Diane to hand over her share of the pub works when Diane speaks with her advisors.

When Nathan discovers information about the deal from Pollard, Nathan informs Natasha about Mark’s dealings with Pollard and Val for the Woolpack.

Natasha's livid and tells Diane that despite Mark’s offer, they won't be buying the Woolpack. Diane is furious to realise why Val’s been priming her for retirement and urges Natasha to leave it to her. What does Diane have in mind for Val?

Elsewhere, Victoria skives off school to spend the day with Aaron. They talk about each other’s lives and then Aaron leans in for a kiss. Victoria reciprocates but they're interrupted when she receives a text from Andy.

They rush back to the village but Aaron makes no attempt to hide from Andy. While Andy drags his sister home, Aaron watches, confident that the kiss will lead to more.

That evening, Andy warns Victoria to stay away from Aaron or face the consequences. Victoria, however, has no intention of doing so and she receives a text from Aaron arranging another meeting. Is the feud between the Dingles and Sugdens about to step up a gear?

Meanwhile, Jamie deceives Betty into thinking that further chutney orders are to send to Louise. However, his scheme soon starts to unravel when Betty notices a delivery of chutney at Home Farm.

After giving Bob a chance to admit what they’ve done, Betty decides that revenge is on the menu. She tells Jamie and Bob that Turner has been taken ill because of a rogue batch of chutney and that they must get the produce back before Louise tastes it.

Jamie obliges and while he’s gone, Betty cooks a disgusting chutney alternative. Is Jamie’s money making scheme about to backfire spectacularly?
