At the church, Sarah tells Mack and Charity that Chloe's gone into labour – the father-to-be goes missing, saying he has something "urgent" to do.

Mack takes a moment before reading a message on his phone and leaves on another mission. At the church, Charity thinks the worst - is she about to be a jilted bride?

Meanwhile, Lydia manages to get the truth about Amelia out of Noah and is horrified to discover about her lump.
