Priya informs Belle and Lisa that Granny Clegg's Cordials has been shortlisted for an award but Belle gets distracted when she discovers she has forgotten to take one of her birth control pills. Moira is annoyed that Holly has invited Pete to the farm to help. Pete apologises and Moira agrees to keep it in the past.

Cain isn't best pleased to return home to find Pete in the kitchen. Cain takes Pete outside and punches him and warns him to go to Scotland tomorrow. Chrissie questions why Lawrence doesn't want her to meet her biological father. Lawrence tells her he will no longer be standing in her way, but Chrissie requests to see Lawrence's will to ensure Lachlan's inheritance is secured. Pete returns to Dale View with a burst lip and informs his family he will be departing for Aberdeen first thing. Cain is suspicious when he witnesses Belle and Rakesh talking in the street. Pete lies that a stranger punched him and is adamant he is leaving. Finn decides to move to Aberdeen with him. Harriet informs Laurel and Ashley that she has invited a dementia support group to the village hall but Ashley isn't pleased. James thinks Pete and Finn moving away could be good for them, but Emma cannot face losing two of her sons again. Jacob arrives at Dale View to talk things over with Emma. Emma gets and idea after talking to Jacob about families sticking together in times of crisis. Lisa goes through Belle's bag looking for the tablets she says she bought in the chemists and is shocked to come across the morning after pill. After Jacob leaves, Emma drops a mug on purpose in front of Pete. She tells Pete she is so proud of him. Pete senses something is wrong so Emma lies that she has been undergoing tests. Chrissie is annoyed at Andy for taking Lawrence's side. Andy says Chrissie doesn't give a stuff about Lawrence, only his money, but Chrissie denies it and insists she needs to know who she really is. Andy tells her she already knows that, she is Lawrence's daughter as he has brought her up and loves her, just like he loves his own children. Andy goes to leave thinking he and Chrissie are over, but Chrissie tells Andy she loves him, and he admits he loves her too and the two kiss.
