Ashley continues to torture himself with the thought that everyone in the village is talking about Laurel and Marlon and lashes out at Sandy when the old man tries to talk to him. Sandy's worried - and so he should be. Ashley doesn't want Laurel anywhere near Marlon, yet he doesn't want to be near her himself. So what does Ashley want? He wants to leave Emmerdale and take Laurel and the kids with him. He hasn't told Laurel this, though; he tells her he just wants the two of them to go to Leeds for a few days. Sandy's suspicious of Ashley's motives, though, and corners him in the church. Feeling trapped and guilty, Ashley turns on his father and throws a hymn book at him. Well, at least it wasn't the good book... Charity has some good news: the police no longer think she brained Cain. But Aaron does.

But when Carl gets a speeding ticket he suddenly has some use for Rodney...
