Ross has a demand for a worried Charity…

When Ross overhears Sarah telling Vanessa that Mackenzie’s ended things with Charity. He confronts her and asks if Mack left because he found out about their infidelity. Charity denies the accusations and throws Ross out. Later when Vanessa offers Charity her shoulder to cry on, overwhelmed Charity breaks down and admits that there’s a chance Sarah’s baby isn’t hers.

Charity doesn’t correct Vanessa when she assumes she slept with Mack, not Ross. Vanessa urges her to tell her family but Charity remains adamant in keeping the secret and hoping for the best and begs Vanessa to keep her secret as she resolves to live in denial. Charity does her best to dispel Ross’ assumptions about the baby.

He’s unsure whether to believe her when she claims that she’s had tests done at the hospital in order to confirm the baby’s parentage. When Charity refuses to show Ross the results of the test, Ross demands one of his own. Charity’s at breaking point to realise she now has yet another problem on her hands.

Dylan tells Ray he’s made a decision…

Ray puts doubts in Dylan’s head when he tells him Paddy’s kindness can’t be solely altruistic. Feigning parental care, Ray assures Dylan that he’ll look out for him and pays him in advance for another job. The next day, April’s concerned by Dylan’s suspicious behaviour when she sees him getting into a strangers car. Marlon is confused why April’s so stressed about Dylan going to work and entreats her to open up to him.

April reminds her dad about Dylan’s history with sex work and thinks Dylan might be up to his old tricks, whilst Marlon comforts her, horrified at the reminder of what they’ve both had to deal with. Marlon struggles to process the implications of April’s suspicions. Upset and wishing she’d not told her dad, April heads out whilst Marlon prepares to update Paddy. Seeing Dylan exit the stranger’s car outside the Vets, April accosts him and is relieved to realise he did a drugs drop rather than sex work.

When Paddy and Marlon catch up with them, Dylan’s upset to realise they too now know about his past. Back at Tenants, Dylan tells April he feels humiliated by the fact that she divulged his secrets to Marlon and Paddy. Worried he might end things, April tells Dylan that she loves him but he quickly becomes emotional and is unable to process her betrayal.

Dylan’s touched when Paddy reiterates that he won’t judge him for his past. Keen to stay on the straight and narrow, Dylan meets Ray and tells him that he wants a break from working for him. Will Ray be willing to let him go?

Vinny later finds Kammy and apologises to him for ruining his chances with Belle. When a gutted Kammy refuses to accept the apology, Vinny’s guilt only increases..

Seeing Belle in the Woolpack, Kammy asks her for another chance but is gutted when she refuses to take a risk on him after all she went through with Tom. Later that day, Vinny’s gutted to see how disappointed Belle is about Kammy and kicks himself for all the trouble he’s caused.
