Plot
Doug has set up a vegetable stall with an honesty box. Gabby and Noah decide to skip school. Moira and Victoria have spent the night at the police station, although the police have nothing on them. It's the day of Lachlan's sentencing and Chrissie is hopeful that with time served, her son will be home today. Doug is annoyed at Tracy's bad pronunciation and puts it down to her not reading enough. Megan realises she'll have to go crawling back to Charity when the other venue hen party venue is closed down to an insect infestation. Emma overhears Ross on the phone talking about a stolen car and demands to know who stole a car. Ross reveals it was Moira. Charity takes pleasure in desperate Megan asking to use The Woolpack for a hen night. Andy's loved ones also prepare for the sentencing in the café. Chrissie winds up moody Victoria by pushing her out of the way. Moira returns to find Emma sitting at her kitchen table. Emma demands to know exactly what she's been up to with her son, and Moira assumes she's talking about Pete. Emma threatens to call the police, but Moira warns her if she does, she'll bring Ross down with her. Moira insists it was a moment of madness, but Emma questions how she'd feel if she'd done the same with Adam. Moira explains she's fighting with everything she's got to keep the farm as it's the only place she feels close to Holly. Chrissie and Lawrence return from the the sentencing without Lachlan, who has been sentenced to ten months, although reduced to five. Chrissie blames Rebecca for Lachlan being behind bars, but Rebecca insists she should blame herself. Tracy neglects her shop duties to read a book and David wonders what's got into his wife. Tracy gives David a book and asks him not to mock her. The hen party arrives in The Woolpack and a few of them are sick. Frank is suspicious of Charity when she mentions cockroaches, as Megan only said an insect infestation. Gabby and Noah put comments in the honesty box. Emma tells Moira that stealing a car is not her and insists she needs help. Emma states Moira needs her family around her although Moira is adamant she's alright on her own. Charity and Chas work out the hens have brought in their own booze. Charity reveals she planted the cockroaches at the other venue, unaware Frank is listening in. Robert insists Rebecca can't leave as Chrissie will come round and she can't let Chrissie win. In the shop, tipsy Chrissie moans to Lawrence about Rebecca. Diane, Doug and Bernice appear in the shop and Chrissie tells them they make her sick as Lachlan is just a scared boy. Victoria steps in and tells Chrissie that she makes her sick as she's taken Andy away from Sarah at the time she needs him most. Victoria shouts that if Chrissie takes her head out of her backside she'd see all the other lives she's destroyed, including her own sons. She insists Chrissie cannot talk about scared children. Lawrence feels awful and drags Chrissie out of the shop. Frank questions why Charity would plant the cockroaches and threatens to tell Megan. Rebecca packs her case and informs Chrissie she's leaving. She questions how they ended up like this. Chrissie demands Rebecca hand over her keys, but Rebecca spots their mother's wedding ring on a chain around Chrissie's neck and realises her sister set her up. A struggle ensues and Chrissie ends up falling over the banister and on to a glass table below, smashing it to pieces.
