Dave Chen-Williams (Dominic Power) is temporarily living with his brother Ethan Williams (Matthew Bailey) and his less-than-impressed girlfriend Sienna Blake (Anna Passey).

2. Sam and Zoe break up
Sam is trying to move past the argument he had with Zoe. During an afternoon with her friends, the police detective is reminded that there shouldn't be these many problems early on in a relationship and contemplates calling it quits.
Determined to see Zoe bust Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas), Sam sneaks into Warren's Wheels. But when the owner and his mum Norma Crow (Glynis Barber) turn up, he's forced to hide.
Over at the station, Zoe is suffering with nausea, which is only worsened by receiving a call about Sam. Tired of having to bail him out constantly, she breaks up with him.
3. Warren is worried for Norma
Warren is worried for his mum as she has a wrist injury. Not wanting to put up with her son's questioning, Norma tells him she's had her bag stolen.
Later on, Norma reveals she wasn't really attacked. She confessed she didn't want to seem weak and lied instead of telling Warren she tripped. Will this admission bring the mother-son duo closer together?
4. Juliet receives upsetting news from the hospital
As Juliet is finally about to be discharged from the hospital, she and her girlfriend Peri Lomax (Ruby O'Donnell) manifest some good news. Their wish is only partly granted when the doctor tells Juliet she's clear from norovirus and allowed to go home.
Sadly, the couple's happiness is short-lived when they're informed that Juliet's kidney function hasn’t improved liked they hoped.
Peri is devastated, but Juliet insists to focus on the positives and suggests Romeo could throw a gathering with all of their friends. Despite Peri's resistances, the former nurse caves when Juliet tells her how much having fun at a time like this means to her.
With Ste and James's wedding approaching, Juliet wants to give her brother a time to remember. At the wedding party, she collapses on the dancefloor during a dance with Peri.

Will these two move things forward?

Wedding bells are in the air for Ste and James as the couple navigate their differences to enjoy the perfect ceremony.
Busy with Eric Foster's (Angus Castle-Doughty) appeal and grappling with guilt over taking the case, James forgets to plan a stag do for Ste. He then enlists the help of his fiancé's former BFF Sienna, but will she come to the rescue?
After realising how boring his wine and cheese tasting is, James decides to join Ste at The Loft for a joint stag do. During a game organised by Scott Drinkwell (Ross Adams), however, Ste realises how little James know about him.
Drama ensues when Ste can't be found on the wedding day. When the two grooms are finally reunited, Ste opens up on his fears that being married may change them, but James proves he's willing to compromise with an unexpected move: swapping outfits for the ceremony.
