Plot[]
Part One: As the fire rages, Moira comes out of her haze and realises she's in a burning barn. She tries to wake Ruby but can't so she desperately begins trying to break down the barn door. In the café, Rhona informs Vanessa that Tom has been abusing Belle. Rhona recalls the awkward dinner party they had in May and feels guilty for not noticing the signs sooner. Vanessa wants to kick Tom out of the practise as there's no way she's working with him again. Will removes stacks of cash from the Home Farm safe and places it in a holdall. As Mack works on a quadbike in a field, he spots smoke billowing from one of the barns. He phones Moira but gets no response so he jumps of the quadbike and speeds towards the burning barn. At the vets, Vanessa rants to Rhona about Tom. She believes Tom was manipulating them when he set up the dinner party and it worked. When Tom arrives at the surgery, Rhona and Vanessa tell him they know what's been happening with Belle and they think he should leave. Tom insists they can't sack him as it's unfair dismissal but Rhona thinks Tom should be more worried about Cain. Once Tom has left, Rhona wonders if they've made the right decision. Vanessa is certain they have. A worked-up Tom informs Jimmy that Rhona and Vanessa are threatening to sack him due to Belle's allegations. He claims Belle is out to ruin him because she's jealous of his relationship with Amelia. Jimmy promises Tom he'll always have him. Mack and John arrive at the burning barn and hear Moira and someone else trapped inside. John instructs Mack to call the fire brigade and Cain then he begins trying to break down the door. Caleb fills Chas in on Moira and Nate's kiss as they walk down Main Street. As they approach the garage, they hear Cain taking his anger out on a car. John manages to break the barn door and crawls inside. Chas tries to talk to Cain about Moira but Cain insists there's no excuses for Moira kissing Nate and declares he's done with her. However, when her learns that Moira might be trapped in the burning barn, he rushes straight there. At the barn, John and Mack battle the flames to try to rescue Moira and Ruby. Their efforts are hampered by a falling beam that nearly takes out Mack.
Part Two: John pushes the burning beam out of the way with a ladder and manages to reach Ruby. A jumpy Will heads off to meet with his blackmailer. Belle tries to speak to Amelia about Tom but Amelia refuses to hear her out. Jimmy appears and tells Amelia not to listen to anything Belle says as Tom has been suspended from work due to her lies. This prompts Belle to tell Amelia that Tom has been abusing her. As Will waits at the drop off location, Cain's car speeds past with Caleb following closely behind. Caleb stops and informs Will that there's a fire at the farm and Moira might be trapped so Will abandons the drop off to help. Neither Amelia nor Jimmy believe Belle's allegations and Jimmy worries for his nephew's safety due to Cain. Meanwhile, Cain, Chas, and Caleb arrive at the farm just as John is carrying Ruby out of the burning barn. Mack emerges moments later saying he can't find Moira so a frantic Cain runs into the barn to find her himself. Cain manages to find Moira, but before he can get her to safety, there's an explosion that blocks their exit. Moira believes there's no way out but Cain refuses to give up. Amidst the chaos, Will receives a text from his blackmailer reading "BAD MOVE". Inside the barn, Moira tells Cain she loves him. Cain finds a large piece of material just as another explosion goes off. Cain and Moira cover themselves with the material and run through the flames towards the exit, but before they reach it, there's another, much larger, explosion that throws everyone outside the barn to the ground. Will Cain and Moira survive?
