Matthew (Matt Healy) confronts Katie (Sammy Winward) and demands to know what's happening with Perdy (Georgia Slowe), but she remains tight-lipped. He later overhears her talking to Chas (Lucy Pargeter) about her attraction to Gray (Christopher Villiers) and stirs things by then trying to convince Perdy that the two are having an affair. She takes pleasure in revealing the truth about the surrogacy. A shocked Matthew tries to convince her that she's making a mistake but will his words get through?Elsewhere, Paul (Mathew Bose) is equally surprised to learn Perdy and Gray are pushing ahead with the surrogacy. When Jonny (Richard Grieve) suggests January for their civil ceremony, Paul is distracted and his mind is clearly elsewhere. Undeterred, Jonny goes to see Ashley (John Middleton), who agrees to have a service in their honour at the church. However are Jonny's best laid plans destined to go wrong?Ashley also has issues to address closer to home when Hilary (Paula Wilcox) gives him a ticking off for being less than discreet in his frolics with Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy). Her eyes are opened even further when Viv (Deena Payne) later fills the meddling mother-in-law on Ashley's past indiscretions with other villagers. Can Hilary bite her tongue with the increasingly frustrated vicar?
