As he drives away from Home Farm, Cain steps in front of the car an demands to know where Joe is. Graham states he has no idea.Cain doesn't believe him so checks the boot. Although the boot is empty, Cain sees the gun on the passenger seat. At that moment, Cain spots Joe walking across the garden. Faith declares Kim is poison and is hurting her family. She insists they need to fight back and do something. Ross unties Simon and tells him he's not ever getting out of prison now they have his confession on tape.
