==Plot==
Part One: Ruby has spent the night at The Grange having nightmares about Anthony. She is awoke by Bob with a cup of tea - she asks for a whisky instead. Steph tries to get Caleb to reveal to her what has gone on between him and Ruby but he avoids the subject. Marlon's cough has gotten worse and Rhona tries to make him see he should be resting but he insists on another day searching for April. Ella calls Liam and tells him she is taking a mental health day due the article. Wendy blurts out to Liam that she was the one who told the journalist about Rhona and Ella, saying she was being blackmailed. Nicola fills Chas and Cain in on Ruby and Caleb's break-up. Wendy explains to Liam how she was trying to boost interest in the search for April and reveals she had everything about her past dug up. She suggests going to the paper to complain but Liam just thinks that will cause more problems if they decide to publish about her failing to disclose her criminal conviction. Ross and Paddy take Marlon to hospital when he collapses in the Woolpack. Moira tells Cain that Matty is taking her to her radiotherapy session today. She divulges to him that she feels he doesn't find her attractive anymore. He thinks she is being paranoid and insecure. Ross bumps into Steph in the shop and apologises to her for not responding to her messages, explaining he has been searching for April. Steph fills him in on her parents break-up. She confronts Ruby about being drunk when she spots her, calling her attention-seeking, narcissistic and a poisonous bitch. Caleb confides in Cain that he and Ruby have broken up, explaining about the DNA test result. They hug. 
Part Two: Manpreet struggles to comprehend that Wendy obtained her job by deception and that Liam knew. Liam tells Wendy that they will have to let her go. Realising her career is over, Wendy resigns. Rhona arrives at the hospital to look after Marlon and chastises him for not listening to her. Joe finds Kim looking at a photograph of Jamie and Millie and offers to try and set up a meeting between her and Jamie. The lights go out when he puts the kettle on and he rings Noah. Caleb has convinced himself that another boy he remembers Ruby hanging around with must be Steph's father. He admits to Cain that he can't look at Steph the same now. Anthony sneaks into Ruby's room at The Grange while she is asleep and sits beside her. Noah arrives at Home Farm to fix the electrics. Wendy confesses to Ella, Vanessa and Bob that it was her who provided the information to the journalist. Ella is horrified and her, Vanessa and Bob walk out on Wendy. Marlon is told he has a chest infection and that his blood pressure is high. He is advised to take antibiotics and make his health a priority or he will risk another stroke. 
Part Three: Steph finds Caleb and talks him out of following Cain's advice of going to speak to Ruby. Ruby is terrified when she awakens to find Anthony stroking her hair. She yells at him not to touch her and accuses him of causing everything wrong in her life. Wendy finds Bob who believes she was only trying to protect herself. He is appalled by her and tells her to pack her things and leave. Chas goes to see Caleb and admits she knew that Ruby was planning a DNA test. She reveals that Ruby confided in her about it recently and explains how Ruby told her she was forced into having sex and really wanted to believe that Caleb was Steph's father. Caleb announces he has tracked down the other man he remembers Ruby hanging around with at the time, Rob, via the IT company he runs and invited him over on false pretenses. Anthony accuses Ruby of being drunk and hysterical. She accuses him of twisting things and demands that he admit what he had been doing to her since she was fourteen. Marlon agrees to take a few days off from searching Leeds from April. Rhona invites Ross over and he offers to flyer all of Marlon's area as well as his own. Marlon's grateful. Joe is proud of Noah when he sorts the Home Farm electrics. Noah's confused as Joe his suddenly being nice to him again. Joe admits he had a visit from Ross trying to make him stay away. Noah is angered to learn that it was likely at Charity's request. Ruby persists that Anthony raped her but he tells her that she'll never be able to prove it. She reveals that she has a DNA test that proves Caleb is not Steph's father which means he is. Anthony is stunned. Ruby tells him that she never wants Steph to find out the truth so his secret is safe and no-one will ever know what a repulsive pervert he is. 
Part Four: Chas refuses to leave as Caleb waits for Rob to arrive. When he does, he slams Rob up against the wall and tells him he is going to pay for what he did to Ruby. Outside The Grange, Anthony bumps into Steph and she offers to treat him to a meal at the Hide. Ruby watches them from the window. Cain joins Moira in bed and cuddles up to her. A terrified Rob insists to Caleb that he is gay and that he and Ruby were just friends. He tells Caleb that Ruby used to come over to his and spend the night at his when she suddenly stopped being close with her dad and that he wasn't aware of her ever seeing any other boys. Chas suddenly pieces together who Steph's father is. Wendy fills Victoria in on everything and confesses that Bob was right, she was only trying to protect her job and reputation. She begs Victoria not to hate her. Charity has found out from Sam that Noah has been up to Home Farm and confronts him. When Joe arrives and tries to pay Noah, he puts on a show for Charity telling him to shove his poxy money and that he'll invoice Kim. Charity is pleased. Rhona creates a post online offering a £1000 reward for April. Mary worries she will attract fraudsters and encourages her to talk to charities. Rhona goes ahead regardless. Victoria supports Wendy by saying she has done the right thing by owning up and offers to help her try to make things up with Rhona and Ella. Wendy believes it is too late for that and has decided to leave for good. Caleb lets Rob go and they part on good terms. Chas tells Caleb she believes Anthony is responsible. Caleb is horrified.
