Plot
Megan stands alone at Kilbeck Water, eagerly watching the divers searching for Robbie and Declan. Charity and Debbie are back in the village as news that Robbie and Declan are suspected dead travels. Charity breaks the news to Noah that Declan won't be returning. Katie feels guilty that she couldn't have helped Declan in some way. Vanessa breaks the news to her and Leyla that she's resuming her relationship with Kirin again and is relieved when she gets their support. Charity struggles to get back to normal and is disappointed to find out that Debbie has yet to forgive her for splitting her and Pete up. Jai asks Kerry to return to the factory as they're falling behind, offering double time. Kerry snaps his hand off. Lisa's made up when Zak tells her that Belle's coming out on day release next week. Jai berates her for being late for work. Sandy forces Aaron to tell him what Edna's secret is and frustrated, he blurts out that Edna sent someone to prison for being gay to him and Paddy. Back home, Megan receives a call saying that a body has been found at the lake and they need to her identify it. The Dingles and village residents offer their support to Charity. Alicia breaks the news to her that the police have found a body and Megan's gone to identify it. Charity is sure it's Declan. Aaron explains to Sandy and Paddy about Lawrence. Debbie drops Noah and Charity back at Home Farm though Noah's reluctant. She and Charity quickly fall out when Charity tries to make comparisons between Declan and Cameron in an attempt to build bridges with Debbie, but Debbie quickly reminds her that the two situations are extremely different. Vanessa and Kirin meet for their date in The Woolpack to the shock of the villagers. Sandy finds Edna in the church and speaks to her about Lawrence. Vanessa's uncomfortable when Kirin tells her he's invited Priya and Rakesh to join them but agrees they should know. Edna angrily explains to Sandy that she can't forgive herself for Lawrence killing himself. Rakesh's disgusted to find out Kirin's date is Vanessa and is disappointed when he finds out Priya already knew about them. Charity is unnerved when Megan informs her that Robbie's body has been found but Declan is still missing. She warns Charity that if Declan still is alive, she callously tells her she'd better watch her back as he'll return to finish the job.
