==Plot==
Part One:
Nicola and the kids have spent the night at Mulberry Cottage. Tom informs Jimmy he's being harassed online but Jimmy is too busy trying to get his family back to care and asks Tom to give him some space. Ross calls by Jacobs Fold to apologise to Moses for scaring him yesterday. Whilst there, he and Mack clash again. Cathy visits Angelica and apologises for not being in contact whilst she was at the secure unit. When Cathy mentions Angelica going back to school, Angelica pulls a face. Ella's devastated that Liam has dumped her asks an uncomfortable Chas how to deal with heartbreak. On top of her heartbreak, Ella also needs to find somewhere else to live as things were very awkward at Tenant House this morning. Ross bumps into Billy and informs him he's told Jade the fight is off. Billy is pleased but comments Jade doesn't strike him as the type of person who backs off so easily. Afterwards, Ross tells Charity that the rematch is off and he wants to be a proper dad to Moses. Charity is glad. Laurel finds a bloody and bruised Tom outside the church. Tom explains he's been attacked but stops Laurel from calling an ambulance and instead asks her to help him home.
Part Two:
Over a brew in the pub backroom, Ross flirts with Charity then leans in for a kiss. Charity shoves Ross off of her and insists that's not happening. As Jimmy and Laurel tend to Tom's injuries, Tom explains how he was attacked from behind and didn't see who was responsible. Jimmy assumes Sam must be responsible and offers to take Tom to the police station to report the attack but Tom doesn't want the police involved. Ross believes Charity wants him although Charity denies it, insisting she only sees him as a mate and that's all he'll ever be. Ross comments she should keep telling herself that then walks out. Cathy tells Bob that Angelica isn't in a good place. Nicola overhears the mention of her daughter's name and is devastated to learn Angelica wishes she didn't come home. Nicola is also eaten up with guilt that Angelica didn't have a stable home to come back to due to her and Jimmy's rows over Tom. Bob comforts a teary Nicola. Chas and Liam agree to let the dust settle before they take their relationship public. Jimmy spots Sam in Main Street and confronts him about attacking Tom. Sam protests his innocence but comments he's glad Tom got a taste of his own medicine. Nicola steps in to prevent Jimmy attacking Sam and tells him they've got bigger things to worry about with Angelica. Jimmy can't cope with all this and questions when Nicola will return home so they can deal with things together. Nicola reiterates she won't return until Tom's gone. She tells Jimmy if he just took his blinkers off, he'd see what they all see. Meanwhile, Tom meets with his friend and solicitor Ollie. It soon becomes clear Ollie was the one who attacked Tom on Tom's instruction as he wanted to garner sympathy as the smashed windscreen and harassing messages weren't working. Ollie is unsure he can keep representing Tom after this, however Tom blackmails him into staying on. Tom also insists they need to come up with a backup plan in case things get worse - he can't go to prison so they've got to do whatever it takes, legally, or otherwise.
