In the Woolpack, Cain hints to Faye that they might see more of each other now that he's working with Ryan, but Faye makes it clear she's wise to him and using Ryan to win her over isn't going to work. Cain's excited by the challenge and can't help smiling as Faye leaves. Meanwhile, Mark has witnessed their exchange and is unnerved to think Faye is toying with him.
Determined to keep Rodney and Diane apart, Val jumps in when Diane asks him to cover Masie's shift in the pub, claiming she's already asked Pollard to help out. Pollard is less than impressed with his new role behind the bar and snaps when Lily and Lisa take delight in being awkward customers and ordering their old boss around. Val's irked when her plan backfires and Diane decides to take Rodney up on his offer of dinner - seeing as Eric is in control behind the bar.
However, at Rodney's, Diane feels uncomfortable when his reminiscing takes a romantic turn. What are Rodney's intentions?
Tuesday 28th July
Mark approaches Ryan in the cafe and tries to persuade him to leave the village with Faye but when Mark warns that he'll get her out of the village one way or another, Ryan's furious. Faye watches in the distance as Ryan squares up to him and warns him to stay away from his mother. Alone with Ryan, Faye questions his run in with Mark and she's angry when he tells her it's time she moved on from Mark. Will Ryan get to the bottom of the real reason Faye wanted to move to Emmerdale?
Meanwhile, Val is still convinced something is going on between Diane and Rodney and her suspicions are fuelled when Diane receives a bunch of flowers from him, thanking her for a lovely evening. Amused, Diane laughs her off, insisting he's just a mate, but it's clear she's feeling uneasy at Rodney's gesture.
When Rodney arrives in the pub later that day, Diane tells him he doesn't stand a chance but is mortified when Rodney tells her he simply wanted to say thank you for her support after the accident and she's got the wrong end of the stick. However, when Val spots Diane give him a friendly peck on the cheek she's sure it's confirmation that they're more than friends and is determined to put an end to it. How far will Val go?
Wednesday 29th July
Determined to stop Rodney getting back together with Diane, Val puts her plan into action dolling herself up to go and seduce Rodney.
He's bemused by her provocative attire and is stunned when she reveals she's still in love with him. As Val pursues Rodney extolling her feelings for him, he struggles to get away and rejects her advances telling her to control herself! However, when Val lies that Pollard isn't satisfying her needs and hints she's his for the taking, he finally relents to a kiss. Val pulls away triumphant that she's proved he's not serious about Diane. Rodney's baffled and tells her he and Diane have already decided they can never be more than friends.
Val's flummoxed and tries to defend her actions claiming she was trying to protect her sister, but Rodney's furious and threatens to let everyone know that she just cheated on her husband to try and ruin her sister's happiness. Val's horrified as Rodney kicks her out telling her she's gone too far this time, has she sacrificed her marriage and her relationship with Diane?
Faye is perplexed when she receives the keys to a brand new car through her letter box. Ryan suggests it's a bribe from Mark, but when she confronts him about it he angrily asserts it's nothing to do with him although he'd buy her a fleet of cars if it'll encourage her to leave! Cain finally lets her know that he bought the car as a moving in present but she's unimpressed by his grand gesture and tells him she's not that easily bought, before dropping the keys at his feet.
Thursday 30th July
Val is relieved that Rodney hasn't told Pollard about her attempt to seduce him, but she's on edge knowing she made a fool of herself and wondering how to repair the damage. She begs Rodney not to tell anyone but he refuses to hear her out. Diane is intrigued as she witnesses the altercation between the pair and drags them into the back room to get to the bottom of what's going on.
As Val tries to explain her logic and justify coming onto Rodney, Pollard is covering the bar and keeping one ear open as he tries to listen in on the raised voices in the backroom. Val apologises for her mistake, sure they can forget about it and move on, but Diane is incredulous. Unaware that Pollard has entered the room, she lays into Val telling her she can't keep messing with people's lives, she asks whether Val even thought about Pollard before she tarted herself around. Dumbstruck Pollard demands to know what is going on. Will he forgive his wife's indiscretion?
As Pollard waits for someone to tell him what's going on, Val is devastated and unable to face up to him, she runs out of the pub. A confused Pollard bangs on the door to the cottage demanding she let him in, while inside a tearful Val struggles to figure out what to do. Feeling terrible about what she's putting him through, she finally confronts him, but is shattered when he reacts very badly to her confession and tells her to pack her things and leave.
Realising how her actions have hurt and humiliated Pollard, Val is on the warpath after Diane. However, Diane refuses to be held responsible, insisting Val's her own worst enemy and after a blazing row with her sister, Diane reveals she's had enough of the drama and she wants her out of her life and out of the pub. Has Val lost her husband, sister, home and business in one day?
Meanwhile, at their consultation Lexi and Carl are informed that there's a long wait for IVF and the alternative is too expensive. Lexi is gutted and tells Carl how useless she feels not being able to conceive. Carl feels terrible seeing how much it means to her, but still doesn't commit to paying for the treatment. Will Lexi let her dream of being a mother slip away that easily?
Friday 31st July
Lexi tells sceptical Nicola and Scarlett that they've decided to postpone the IVF treatment. She's touched but refuses Scarlett's offer to pay for the treatment with her trust fund. Meanwhile, Carl is getting increasingly frustrated with Nicola and snaps when she challenges him about not being able to afford the IVF.
Desperate, Lexi asks Diane if she has any jobs going in the kitchen and is upset when Carl criticises her desperation. Later that day, she tells Scarlett she'd like to take her up on her offer and when they excitedly reveal the news to Carl, he's privately gutted that he's now forced to go ahead with it. Will he come clean to Lexi?
