Episode 10188 (13th January 2025)

==Plot==
Part One: Marlon has slept on the sofa to stay alert to any further unwanted visitors. He wakes having had a nightmare of April being found dead. Joe wakes up, in bed, and pops some pills. Moira tries to reassure Kyle and Isaac as they quiz her about her radiotherapy. She plans to spend some time with them after school. Cain catches Kyle trying to take £20 out of their cash jar. Marlon feels like the number of people volunteering to look for April are starting to dwindle. Rhona remains on edge with every knock at the door. Vanessa arrives to warn them about an article that has been posted on the Hotten Courier news site. Joe has got himself smartly dressed up and comments to Billy that there is someone he is looking to impress. Dawn makes a point of being all over Billy in front of Joe. When Billy leaves, Joe tells Dawn that she doesn't have to prove a point to him and not to be jealous as the person he is meeting isn't female. The Hotten Courier news article rips into Rhona's past - citing her kidnap trial and painkiller addiction. She realises all their clients will read the article as they have the paper in the vet's surgery. Rhona can't believe it. Moira makes the most of her last day out and about with Cain. She worries about what will happen if the tumour grows back after treatment. Cain promises to be there for her. Joe goes to see Noah and tries to get on his good side again, offering him an accompanying ticket to a football match. Charity and Ross interrupt them and kick Joe out. When Charity finds out about Joe trying to bribe Noah into spending time with him, she demands Noah isn't to go. Marlon has a meltdown in the pub when Mary infers that April may be dead. He accuses everyone of giving up on her because they think she's dead.
Part Two: Alone with Rhona, Marlon tells her about the nightmare he had this morning. He admits Mary may be right and April could be dead. Billy arrives back from Leeds having been handing out flyers and posters but has had no luck. Mary and Marlon apologise to each other. Billy plans to go off and help Bob recruit more volunteers for another sweep. Rhona receives a text from Anna wishing to meet her and Marlon in person. Moira is impressed when she arrives home and finds Matty has seen to the housework. Cain informs her that Kyle has had to stay behind at school for football practice. She notices that £20 has gone missing from the cash jar and Cain covers saying he took it. Anthony has had his first tutoring session with Angelica in the café. Nicola invites him to dinner to thank him. Charity recruits Ross to scare off Joe in return for allowing him to see Moses again after he witnessed him punching Mack. Cain returns with Kyle who reveals that he took the money from the jar so he and Isaac could do something special for Moira. He hands her a special moisturiser he has found online that is good for radiotherapy patients. Cain watches on as Moira comments she doesn't know what she'd do without them all. Ross breaks into Home Farm and threatens Joe, warning him that if he goes near Noah again, he's dead. Anna tells Marlon, Rhona and Mary that she thinks they have a possible sighting of April in central Leeds. She shows them CCTV footage and Marlon is hopeful as he realises it is genuinely her and that she is still alive.
