==Plot==
Part One:
Caleb drops by the scrapyard with the papers for Jimmy to sign over his share of the haulage business but Jimmy wants to read the fine print and also has a delivery to do first. Kim is annoyed Will is still at Home Farm and tells her estranged husband that anyone with an ounce of self-respect would be gone by now. She also takes pleasure in informing him she's spending the day with Dawn, Billy and the kids. Mandy is worried sick about Tina telling Vinny the truth about his parentage and it's putting her off her breakfast. Vinny tells Mandy that Gabby has invited them to Home Farm tomorrow for cocktails but Mandy is preoccupied. Caleb tracks Ruby down to the pub and begs her to hear him out. Debbie has sent boxes of Zak's belongings to Wishing Well Cottage. There's also a bunch of flowers without a note attached which leaves Belle convinced Tom is taunting her. Caleb concedes he was wrong to lie to Ruby about her mum but insists if her mum really cared about her, she would've shown it years ago. He tells Ruby that everything he ever does is to give her the life she deserves and now thanks to her mum's money, he can do that. Ruby is unsure she can trust Caleb anymore but Caleb manages to talk her around and vows to do whatever it takes to earn her trust back. Will reads over the haulage contract and tells Jimmy it all looks above board to him. Jimmy reluctantly signs the papers. Belle confronts Tom about the flowers. Tom doesn't outright confirm or deny sending them. He reminds Belle that her seeking him out is a direct infringement of her bail conditions so he suggests she scurry back home. As Tom walks away, Belle throws the flowers at his back which gives him flashbacks to the axe attack.
Part Two:
Caleb returns to the scrapyard with a bottle of whisky to collect the signed contract. Jimmy hands over the envelope, but when Caleb looks inside, he discovers Jimmy has shredded it. Jimmy explains to Caleb that when he agreed to buy him out, he failed to mention the five-year deal he set up with a new depot and that deal saves him from bankruptcy. Jimmy declares the deal is off and thanks Caleb for the whisky. Paddy knows something is bothering Mandy. Mandy explains she can't bear the thought of losing Vinny although Paddy reminds her Vinny adores her as she's the only mum he's ever known. Ruby is furious when Caleb accuses her of scuppering his deal. Caleb realises it must've been Will then. Sam and Lydia go through the boxes of Zak's belongings. When Belle returns home, she's distressed to see Sam wearing Zak's cardigan and orders him to take it off. Belle is becoming increasingly agitated leaving Sam and Lydia to worry about her mental health. Mandy apologises to Vinny for earlier and tells him she'll love to come for cocktails tomorrow. Vinny is delighted. Jimmy enjoys a celebratory steak in the pub as Caleb drowns his sorrows. When Will walks in, Caleb questions how he could stitch him up after he gave him the money for a decent divorce lawyer. Will explains he couldn't do that to Jimmy as he's a mate although Jimmy declares they're no longer friends as he was prepared to sell him down the river. Belle sits at Zak's grave and talks to her dad, unaware Tom is watching her. Tom phones DS Foy and reports Belle for breaking her bail conditions.
