==Plot==
Part One:
It's Ross' first day working on the farm and he immediately clashes with Mack. Mack notifies Ross that a few people were spotted hanging around the barn then warns him he better not bring any trouble to the farm. Nicola nervously waits for Jimmy to return home with Angelica. She's determined to focus on settling Angelica back home and doesn't want anything, especially Tom, to scupper that. In the pub backroom, Liam apologises to Chas for not breaking up with Ella yet but explains it's hard to find the right moment. Chas orders him to get it over with today. Amelia is disappointed Tom isn't up for spending the day with her. Tom instead suggests to Nicola that they have a talk whilst Jimmy is away. Charity asks Mack to look after Moses for a few hours. Mack is busy, but when Charity mentions asking Ross instead, Mack agrees. Tom suggests to Nicola that they ought to get to know each other better. Nicola knows enough already. She warns Tom he's wasting his time as she can see through his lies. Ella is excited to meet Liam for a coffee at the Hide. She's hopeful Liam will have spoken to Manpreet and confirmed she can have her old job back and she also wants to start planning their first Christmas together. Instead, Liam breaks up with her. Ross hears people moving about in one of the barns, so armed with a shotgun he shouts and asks who it is. When there's no answer, he fires a warning shot at the ceiling. He feels awful when Moses appears.
Part Two:
Mack follows Moses downstairs and tells Ross he could've killed his own son. Ross reminds Mack he was the one who mentioned intruders this morning and insists no real harm was done. Mack resolves to take Moses away from Ross and makes it clear Charity will be hearing about this. Jimmy returns home with a downcast Angelica. Angelica immediately spots Tom's broken windscreen and fears it's because of her. Jimmy assures her it's not. He vows to help Angelica make a fresh start but Angelica knows it's won't be that easy. Angelica's fears are confirmed when the first person she sees is Bob who's startled to see her, especially as she's wearing Heath's hoddie. Angelica wonders if she should never have come back. Inside Victoria Cottage, Tom clocks Angelica and Jimmy are back then starts another quarrel with Nicola. Nicola declares Tom is a nasty wife beating bully, just as Angelica and Jimmy walk in. Angelica bursts into tears and runs out the back door. Whilst Nicola chases after Angelica, Jimmy apologises to Tom for what Nicola said but a manipulative Tom insist he's sorry for coming between him and his wife. Liam informs Chas he's broken up with Ella. He can't face going home and seeing her so suggests he stay at the pub but Chas reminds him it's not an option as Ella doesn't know about them yet. Nicola finds Angelica at the bridge and apologises for ruining her homecoming. Angelica believes it would've been better for everyone if she just stayed away. Nicola insists it's over now but seeing Bob has made Angelica realise it'll never truly be over. Nicola assures her daughter she's going to get her through this. Meanwhile, Laurel finds a sombre Bob drowning his sorrows in the pub. Bob explains didn't react well to seeing Angelica as everything came flooding back. Charity confronts Ross about the shotgun incident. Nicola returns to Victoria Cottage and informs Jimmy that she and the kids aren't coming home whilst Tom is still living there. Jimmy believes Nicola is playing a game and is adamant Tom isn't going anywhere. But Nicola isn't playing around. She declares the kids are what matters and she doesn't want Tom around them, so if he doesn't go, they do.
