Plot[]
Doug and Leyla cower in the destroyed shop and Ryan isn't moving. Mark dives through the back of the van to get to Ryan and orders Cain and John to get a tractor to move the debris. Mark tenderly wipes the blood from his son's face and assures him everything will be OK. Cain and John move the van so that Doug, Leyla and Ryan can be rescued and taken to hospital. Nathan is surprised by Mark's heroism but Mark brushes it off. Faye quietly suggests to Mark that real heroism would be to tell their son the truth. Aaron does a runner from the accident when he's blamed for the crash and even Chas accuses him. John explains to Chas that Aaron wasn't responsible for the crash, but Chas isn't sure what to believe. John repeats his belief to the police and Mark and Nathan are furious that he's defending a Dingle. Nathan warns the Dingles that Aaron will get his comeuppance. Rodney is horrified to discover Nicola was in the vicinity of the accident and worries he's hurt the baby. Nicola insists she's fine and drags Rodney to the pub so he can calm down. Rodney is interviewed by the police and he tells them he's certain he left the handbrake on.
