Charity feels worse when she realises how secluded the cottage is and worries when she can't get a phone signal to call and check on Noah. Megan sets about trying to discover where Declan has taken Charity and recruits Robbie, informing him they need to stop Declan murdering Charity and that she thinks he's already tried once. As Adam gets ready to leave for court, Moira presents him with a contract guaranteeing him security of a 20% share in the farm for when he gets out of prison. After removing the spark plugs from the car, Declan tells Charity that it's broken down. Leyla's touched when Jai helps her with meeting in Megan's absence.

Robbie is unconvinced and talks her out of it.
