At home, Mack and Charity share a tender moment, happy everything is seemingly working out for them.

Chloe has booked her tickets to France, but Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) inadvertently alerts Mack and Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) that she's seen packed bags and Reuben's passport. They dash out, suddenly knowing what's going on. But will they stop Chloe in time?

Kim offloads to husband Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) about Caleb, unaware that Caleb is lurking nearby.
