Plot[]
Part One: Out on Butlers Farm, Moira tries to speak to Ross about seeing Lewis again but she is interrupted as they both pick up on a horrendous smell. Moira goes off to find the cause and is panic stricken to notice the slurry all over the ground. Billy argues with Dawn again as he packs up his things at Home Farm for a second time. She remains adamant that she is not getting back with Joe. Joe leaves Dawn a voicemail message wanting to talk to her as Noah arrives at the hospital to see him. Moira returns to the farmhouse and lays into Mackenzie before taking him outside to look at the slurry leak. Ryan informs Ross that he has decided to move out of the Woolpack as he is fed up of watching Chas and Liam acting loved-up with each other all the time. Manpreet overhears their conversation and offers Ryan Ella's old room. Ryan agrees to take it. Victoria overhears Ross talking to Ryan about Lewis and encourages him to stay in contact with him, comparing his situation to hers upon discovering John. Ryan backs up Victoria's point. John arrives at Butlers Farm with Aaron on the pretence of making things up with Mackenzie. They find Moira ripping into Mackenzie for causing a slurry leak, believing he was too preoccupied with his paintball game. Mackenzie is adamant that he did not deal with the slurry any different than he has previously and John quickly changes the subject to plans for a clear-up operation and offers his and Aaron's assistance. Joe insists to Noah that he wanted them to have a brotherly relationship and was going to ask him regarding being his kidney donor but thought Charity would cause problems by persisting that he was only friendly with him for an ulterior motive. Moira, John and Aaron pour lime on the slurry to neutralise the acidity. Mackenzie checks on the animals and finds they are all fine. Cain breaks the news that the slurry has made its way into the stream. Moira is aghast as she realises that part of the stream flows into the main water supply and that the water supply could be contaminated now.
Part Two: Joe blackmails Noah - forcing him to drop his statement about kidnapping him or he will let him take the rap for his attack. Noah agrees to retract his statement but warns Joe it will cost him. Billy tells Dawn he has decided to drop the custody battle, for the kids sake rather than hers. He takes off his wedding ring and leaves it on the side at Home Farm before leaving. Charity finds out from Manpreet that Ryan is moving in with her. Noah arrives back and breaks the news to Charity that he has retracted his statement against Joe with the police. Jacob overhears and is livid. Moira realises she will need to call the water board for them to carry out an inspection and suggests they send a message into the village group chat to warn people their drinking water may be unsafe. John begins to realise the seriousness of the situation he has caused. Charity is disgusted when she realises that Joe has bought Noah's silence and accuses him of being a Tate rather than a Dingle. Joe informs DS Dasari that his memory has returned and he drunkenly tripped and fell out of the window all by himself. DS Dasari finds it convenient that Joe's memory has happened to return around the same time that Noah has retracted the statement he made against Joe. Manpreet tries to calm Jacob down, believing that Noah must have retracted his statement as Joe has something over him. Moira, Cain, Mackenzie, John and Aaron head to the Woolpack. Mackenzie apologises to John and tells him he owes him big time for his help. Ross arrives and reports that an ambulance has turned up at Keepers Cottage. Dawn goes to see Joe and tells him that Billy has moved out again. He tells her that he loves her and sees a future with him. She isn't so sure she can forget what he has done. Harry is put into the ambulance. Victoria explains to John that she gave Harry some water when he complained of a headache, having not seen the group chat message. Mackenzie guilty watches on while John is aghast at hospitalising his own nephew.
