Archie begins to panic about Danielle

It's the day before Peggy and Archie's respective hen and stag nights and Aunt Sal arrives early to help Peggy prepare. Stacey, meanwhile, bumps into Danielle in the Square and asks what she's been up to for the past few days. Slightly evasive, Danielle reveals that she's going to the wedding and will be one of Peggy's bridesmaids. Unsure of Danielle's claims, Stacey seizes the opportunity when she bumps into Ronnie in the café to find out who Peggy's bridesmaids actually are. Just as Stacey suspected, Danielle doesn't feature in the wedding troupe at all.

Danielle ramps up her attempts to push Archie to tell Ronnie the truth, but Archie's firm in his response. He lies that Ronnie's too emotionally fragile to be able to cope with the daughter she believes dead walking back into her life. Furious with her grandfather's empty promises, Danielle resolves to tell Ronnie herself. Panicking that Danielle will go through with her threat, Archie tracks down Ronnie to R&R. As father and daughter talk, Archie realises that his bridge building with Ronnie finally seems to be paying dividends.

Later, Archie heads to the Arches where he calls Danielle. Lying, he tells her that he's finally told Ronnie the truth and that he wants to meet up with her. Believing the news, Danielle heads for the door, completely unaware that a gloved Archie has just cut a piece of wire which looks to be destined for her neck.

Elsewhere, Janine offers to rent Peggy the sports car she has at the car lot for the wedding; Garry puts his foot in it when Manda asks Garry who Minty's taking to the wedding; Jack offers to babysit Amy for the wedding; and Jean sets to work as the Square's new make-up artist.
