Episode 6676 (31st October 2007)

Plot
It’s the morning of the big day and Sarah has put David's note out of her mind and is determined to enjoy her fairy tale wedding. However, when Gail discovers that David didn't come home last night, she can’t ignore her concern any longer and calls the police.

Meanwhile, on the roof of Underworld, David watches on waiting for the fireworks as the police arrive. Sarah is furious that David’s managing to spoil her day when he’s not even there, but Gail puts on a brave face for her daughter, although it’s clear she’s seriously worried.

When David sees his family leave for the church seemingly unconcerned about his disappearance, he's hurt and shocked and after leaving a ‘final’ ranting message on Gail’s answer phone he gathers all his courage and drives his car into the canal!

In the Church, as Sarah and Jason are about to take their vows, the police arrive to inform Gail about the accident. The congregation immediately start gossiping about the police presence and Gail is forced to interrupt the ceremony to tell the bride and groom what's happened. Gail, Audrey and Bill leave the church, and Jason is stunned when Sarah asks the vicar to continue with the ceremony.

At the canal, an empty car is lifted out of the water, with no sign of David. Back home, Gail finds David's message on the answering machine and breaks down in tears. David finally shows up, cold and wet, at No. 8, and everybody is so relieved he is alive that Sarah looks like the villain as she is the only one who knows the suicide attempt was fake. She insists she and Jason go on their honeymoon as planned so David hasn't won but knows that David has ruined her big day just as he promised.

Elsewhere, Leanne doesn't resist when Paul kisses her.
