Plans for baby Reuben\u2019s christening in Emmerdale were going smoothly at the start of Tuesday (August 22)\u2019s episode. The godparents were arranged, the christening gown had been freshly washed and ironed. What could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n
The venue. Chloe (Jessie Elland) got a call with the bad news that the Hide had been double-booked, so there was nowhere to hold the christening party.<\/p>\n
Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) overheard this bad news and stepped in to offer the cafe. For the price of a donation for new defibrillator pads \u2013 the old ones having been used to revive Bob (Tony Audenshaw) \u2013 they could have the christening there. Chloe had her sights set on somewhere grander, and anyway neither she or Mackenzie (Lawrence Robb) ever carry cash apparently so it was a no from them.<\/p>\n
Mack\u2019s suggestion of tarting up Moira (Natalie J. Robb)\u2019s barn similarly didn\u2019t go down well with Chloe either, so it was looking like the christening might have to be cancelled.<\/p>\n

Then they were having a drink at the Woolpack and Charity (Emma Atkins) \u2013 who\u2019d heard about the christening from Nicola \u2013 offered the pub for the party. Chloe\u2019s response to this was a derisive snort, thinking that Charity must surely be joking because the last thing she\u2019d want would be a public display of Mack and Chloe playing happy families in her pub.<\/p>\n
Charity, however, was quite serious about the gesture and Chloe later apologised to her for the way she reacted. But she still didn\u2019t want to have the do at the Woolpack.<\/p>\n
And it wasn\u2019t long before the two women were arguing, with Chloe saying that was exactly the reason she didn\u2019t want Charity hosting the christening because any chance remark had the possibility of turning into an argument.<\/p>\n
\u2018I promise to you \u2013 one day \u2013 you might just become an interesting person,\u2019 Charity replied.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Chloe clapped back with, \u2018Like you were before your mid 40s when your brain and your face and your body started heading south.\u2019<\/p>\n
When Charity and Mackenzie were together she occasionally felt insecure about the age difference between them, fearing that one day Mack would go off with someone younger, a fear which obviously came true. Chloe\u2019s attack was a very low blow.<\/p>\n
Charity was no longer in a mood to be nice and had a warning about the christening.<\/p>\n
\u2018It doesn\u2019t have to be here for me to ruin it,\u2019 she pointed out. \u2018I can ruin it wherever it is. And I just might, if it takes my fancy.\u2019<\/p>\n
As we already know that Mackenzie and Charity are set to sleep together again before the christening even takes place, it seems that Chloe could live to regret this particular argument.<\/p>\n
