With
the lavish event looming, Rakesh knows that he can't settle the bills
for the wedding and even resorts to selling his watch as a
desperate quick fix.
Rakesh later swallows his pride by confiding in Jai Sharma about the
total mess he's in, but it's Chrissie Sugden who really shows her
support when she finds out what's going on.
Stepping in to rescue Rakesh on the day of his
wedding, Chrissie kindly offers to pay for the caterers so that the
reception plans won't be disrupted.
Rakesh
is hugely grateful for Chrissie's support, but when Priya walks in on
them hugging and wants an explanation for the suspicious encounter, he
has to come clean about what's really going on.
Priya feels betrayed when she realises that
Rakesh kept her in the dark over their financial situation, and is quick
to insist that she wasn't really bothered about having an expensive
event.
An apologetic Rakesh begs Priya for another chance and asks her to still marry him, leaving her with a big decision to make.
Later,
everyone is in the pub wondering where the happy couple are, but
there's a shock in store when Rakesh and Priya do finally arrive.
Has the wedding been scrapped as a desperate cost-cutting measure, or is
there cheerier news to share?
