Plot[]
Part One: Steph convinces herself that Anthony is still alive and that John lied about burying him. Tracy snaps at Claudette when she thinks she is making a snide remark about her stealing from the shop but apologises when she realises she is wrong and that Claudette was actually being nice to her. Kim is surprised to see Dawn back from Scarborough a day early. Dawn admits she and Billy decided to return as they were missing the kids. She is shocked to come face to face with Joe. Ruby calls John round to have a word with Steph, explaining to him about the note and flowers, but finds her gone. Joe tries to apologise to Dawn for how he left and explains he missed her and wants them to become a proper item. Dawn insists they were a seedy affair and that she loves Billy. Ruby and John search for Steph. Jai bumps into Ruby and makes an evocative comment about Anthony. She realises it was him who sent the flowers and Jai admits he did it because he doesn't believe Caleb's insurance story and didn't like being fobbed off. Ruby reveals to him that Anthony raped her and ran away when Caleb found out and accuses him of stirring up things she thought were over. She warns him to stay away from her family. Joe witnesses them talking before giving Noah a bottle of bourbon he picked up for him on his travels. Kim prompts Joe to move out of Home Farm and away from Dawn but Joe insists he loves her. John, Caleb, Aaron and Ruby find Steph in the woods trying to dig up Anthony's grave. She realises that Anthony isn't buried there.
Part Two: John is forced to admit that Anthony isn't buried there when Steph and Aaron realise that the ground hasn't been disturbed. He refuses to tell them where Anthony truly is through fear of one of them slipping up. Tracy gets a reminder text from Frankie's school that there is an Easter dressing up competition tomorrow. Kerry encourages Tracy to search online for Nate. Ruby informs Steph and Caleb that Jai was responsible for sending the flowers. Joe is suspicious when he asks Caleb and Ruby what Steph meant by her comment that they weren't related the other day and they fail to answer his question. Tracy asks Chas if she can borrow Eve's Easter costume from last year for Frankie. She tells Kerry that she has decided to drop her search for Nate as she believes she and Frankie are better off without him and considers getting a second job. Joe informs Kim that she needs to get used to him being around. Aaron is annoyed with John for keeping secrets from him. John feels like he can't tell anybody where Anthony is but promises he has no other secrets. Ruby and Caleb tell Jai to take leave from work so he can give them some space. Joe is suspicious of Caleb and plans to dig up some dirt on him.
