It's a week since Jack and Sarah's wedding. The 'Beckindale' village sign is changed over to 'Emmerdale'. Viv complains that she needs Vic to back her up with the kids more. Shirley is fed up of doing all the cleaning around The Woolpack and goes to the Cash & Carry. Viv forces Vic to do Scott's paper round when he is up too late to finish it before school. Four men sit in a vehicle outside and watch Vic leave. Once he's gone, three of the men storm the shop wearing balaclavas while the fourth man waits in the car. They grab Viv and force her to hand over the keys and steal the cash from the till. Joe picks up Michael ready for him to help Jack on the farm. He agrees to stop off at the shop as Michael hasn't had time for breakfast. The men gather all the money they can find in a bag. Joe is suspicious to find the shop closed and notices the man sitting outside with the car engine running.
