Ashley wipes the floor with Sandy!

Ashley has to mop up another of Sandy's messes and he's not happy... Ashley goes out and leaves Sandy to look after Gabby. But when he gets home he finds that Sandy and Gabby's Easter-egg painting has made a right mess of the kitchen. Worried about Ashley's reaction, Sandy reaches for the mop to clean up, but angry Ashley pushes him - and Sandy falls and hurts his wrist. Gabby has seen the whole thing and Ashley's first priority is to convince the little girl that it was all an accident. Then he turns on Sandy and cold-heartedly tells him no one will believe it was anything other than an accident... Chas and Paddy can't believe that Aaron isn't going to France with Ed. It seems that everyone wants Aaron to go to France - except Aaron. He tells Chas that he has to stay in Emmerdale for Adam and nothing she says and nothing Paddy says can change his mind. Ruby hasn't changed her mind about wanting Ali to divorce Dan, but Ali has done nothing about it. She hasn't even looked at the paperwork Ruby brought home to get her started...
