Episode 10086 (9th September 2024)

==Plot==
Part One:
Tom lets himself into Dale Head with a bag of tools. Moira is still behaving oddly. Nate can't believe she's acting like nothing happened yesterday whilst Cain is annoyed when she's dismissive when he tries to talk to her about Belle. It's Tracy's birthday and Vanessa enquires if Nate has gotten her anything. Tracy giddily reveals Nate spent the night and also asked her to go to Shetland with him. Caleb calls Cain over to the Mill and informs him he saw Moira kissing Nate yesterday. Tracy admits to Vanessa that she's having second thoughts about moving away although explains being with Nate feels like coming home. Tom removes the hidden cameras he used to spy on Belle. A furious Cain returns to the farm and confronts Moira about her kiss with Nate. Moira insists she didn't kiss Nate but Cain doesn't believe her and soon things turn heated. Moira shouts that he's being paranoid and ridiculous then storms out. Will nervously waits for his blackmailer to give him the drop-off location. Caleb runs into Nate outside Tug Ghyll and reveals he saw him with Moira. Nate protests it's not how it looked. When Caleb hears Tracy is planning to go to Shetland with Nate, he tells her about Nate's kiss with Moira. Nate again protests it wasn't like that. Cain walks up and questions how it was then. Cain demands Nate starts talks but Nate insists there's nothing to say. He explains he and Moira were talking on minute then she was pulling him towards her. Cain punches Nate.
Part Two:
Cain grabs Nate by his hoodie and continues to punch him. When Nate calls him "dad", Cain punches him one last time, declaring he's not his son and he never was - he'd be happy if he never saw him again. After Cain leaves, Tracy asks Nate if this him punishing her for Caleb and decides she's no longer going to Shetland with him. Nate again protests his innocence but Tracy doesn't believe him and it's not helped when Ruby sticks her nose in. At Victoria Cottage, Tom tells Jimmy that Belle is accusing him of domestic abuse. Back at the farmhouse, Moira notices Cain has bruised knuckles and realises he's punched Nate. Moira again insists there's nothing between her and Nate but Cain refuses to believe her. When Cain calls her a slag, Moira slaps him across the face. Cain declares they're done and walks out. Will continues to worry about his blackmailer but he lies to Kim that his anxiety is to do with Evan. At that moment, Will receives a text from his blackmailer with the drop off location. Tracy allows an emotional Nate to see Frankie and explain to their daughter that he's leaving. Belle continues to worry about what Tom might do with her intimate photos. She also fears for Amelia's safety so resolves to tell her everything. As Moira refuels a tractor in the barn, a gloating Ruby approaches her and asks for an apology. Moira has a funny turn and doesn't notice she's spilling the fuel. As Ruby continues to talk, Moira has visions of Emma Barton. A terrified Moira orders "Emma" to leave her alone. When a confused Ruby steps towards Moira, Moira throws the fuel canister to the ground and grabs her shotgun warning "Emma" to stay back. Nate doesn't want to run away from the village as he's got nothing to be ashamed of, but after a brief talk with John, he decides to leave as he's had enough of the place. Ruby tries to reason with a delirious Moira and orders her to put the gun down. Moira instead shoots one of the barn lights causing the fixture to career to the ground. The resulting sparks ignite some straw. Ruby attempts to grab the gun from Moira and a struggle ensues during which Moira hits Ruby with the gun, knocking her unconscious. Jimmy spots Belle walking up Main Street and confronts her about her allegations against Tom, insisting Tom wouldn't do this. When he steps towards Belle and instructs her to take back her allegations, an enraged Cain grabs Jimmy by the lapels and orders him to stay away from his little sister or he'll destroy the whole lot of them. Rhona witnesses the entire exchange. As the flames in the barn grow, a confused Moira tries to wake Ruby when suddenly she has another funny turn...
