Plot[]
Part One: Caleb turns up at the scrapyard and introduces himself to Jimmy as his new business partner. Belle searches Wishing Well Cottage fearing Tom may have planted hidden cameras there too. Jimmy feels betrayed by Will for selling up and is angered that Caleb has agreed to keep Will on as a driver. Will insists he needs all the cash he can get his hands on to pay for a divorce lawyer but Jimmy doesn't care. Dawn witnesses the confrontation. John and Victoria apologise to each other for yesterday and agree to forget it. All Victoria wants is to get to know her newfound brother and asks about Aidan. Will knocks at Holdgate Farm and asks Dawn to hear him out but Dawn shuts the door in his face. John explains Aidan was his best friend who died in a bomb explosion whilst they were serving in Afghanistan. He did his best to save Aidan, but he was unable so he held his hand as he died. Afterward, he decided to quit the army and live in his van and tell no one he was a medic as he let Aidan down and he can never forgive himself for it. Kim has spent the night with her financial advisor Peter and takes great delight in making Will aware of it. Lydia assures Belle there's no hidden cameras at Wishing Well. She urges Belle to go to the police with the hidden camera but Belle refuses. Kim and Will argue about Will moving out of Home Farm. When Will calls Kim an old trollop who's well past her sell-by date, Peter punches him in the face.
Part Two: Charles, Claudette, Laurel brainstorm ideas for the harvest festival in the pub. Gail pipes in with lots of ideas too. As Kim tends to Will's bloody nose, Will tells her that her stunt to make him jealous worked. But soon the pair are arguing again and Will reminds Kim he's still got Dawn and the kids which is a lot more than she has. Belle asks Lydia what it was like when she went to the police after her rape. Lydia recalls she ran away the first time but it felt cathartic to get it off her chest. Belle thinks Tom is too clever to get caught and fears she won't be believed. Lydia promises Belle people will believe her, reminding her she has evidence. Kim calls in past Holdgate Farm to speak to Dawn. Dawn refuses to take sides between Kim and Will but Kim doesn't expect her to. They both apologise for their roles in the Rose debacle and agree to be friends again. Gail has spoken to Chas about her and Ryan moving into the pub and doesn't think she's keen so they decide to remain at Tall Trees Cottage. Laurel is frustrated by what she views as Claudette's outdated ideas for the harvest festival and wonders how Charles puts up with her. As Kim leaves Holdgate, she promises Dawn to help her in any way she can and the pair hug. Will is furious to witness this and soon he and Kim are arguing again. Belle isn't sure she has the energy to report Tom. Lydia assures her the family will support her whatever she decides. Still worked up from his confrontation with Kim, Will visits Caleb and offers to anything he wants to bring Kim to her knees. Caleb initially refuses, but when Will insists he'll do anything - legal or illegal - Caleb agrees.
