==Plot==
Part One:
Mandy stares at Tina's caravan that's parked up outside Wishing Well Cottage. Eric has been woken early due to the noise and vibrations of lorries disturbing his sleep. At Mulberry Cottage, Laurel finds Angelica sitting at the kitchen table doing school work. She asks Angelica about going to go back to school but Angelica can't face it yet. John takes an injured Aaron home from hospital. Mandy moves Tina's caravan to a field in the middle of nowhere. When Tina wakes up, she steps outside only to fall face first into mud. Mandy finds it hilarious. She orders her cousin to leave and forget about the house, the family, and most of all telling Vinny that she's his mother. Laurel mentions to Nicola that she found Angelica doing her school work at 7:30am. Nicola looks at Angelica's laptop and discovers she's been visiting a forum for people like her where she posted about how she didn't feel a thing when she attacked a girl and got her sentence extended. Eric is fed up of all the noise and pollution so he steps in font of Will's lorry as he's heading to Caleb's new depot. Will tells Eric if he has an issue, he needs to talk to Caleb. Mandy returns to Wishing Well Cottage just as a distressed Vinny runs out the house. It soon becomes apparent Tina has told Vinny she's his mum. When Vinny spots Mandy, he asks if she bought him when he was little. Mandy confirms she did. Vinny is devastated.
Part Two:
Tina claims she's been desperate to tell Vinny the truth about his parentage which prompts Mandy to label her a lying little cow. Vinny has no idea what to think. As Mandy and Tina argue, they don't notice Vinny has walked off. Eric heads to the depot to confront Caleb about the noise pollution from his lorries but Caleb tells him he'll just need to get used to it. Aaron invites John to stay for at the Mill as long as he wants. Whilst Caleb and Will are distracted, Eric climbs into a lorry and decides to stage a protest by blocking the entrance to the depot. Caleb tries to reason with Eric but Eric insists he can't be bought off. He starts the engine and reverses, crashing into the load sitting at the rear of the lorry. As Caleb surveys the damage, Will removes the keys from the lorry and notices Eric is shaking although Eric claims it's with laughter. Mandy and Tina track Vinny down to outside The Woolpack and they both apologise to him. Mandy tells Vinny that Tina didn't want him, she just wanted the money, whereas she actually wanted him because she loved him. Tina hits back that she was suffering from post-natal depression. Paddy, Sam and Lydia hear the commotion and come outside. Sam and Lydia are stunned to learn Tina is Vinny's mum. Nicola confronts Angelica about the post on the forum but it soon becomes clear Nicola didn't read the whole comment so Angelica shows her the rest of it. Nicola struggles to hold it together as she reads the rest of Angelica's words. A teary Angelica reveals she feels dead inside and just wants to feel normal again. Caleb drops by the shop and warns Eric to stay away from the depot, threatening to take the footage of Eric's earlier antics to the police if he causes any more trouble. Vinny struggles to come to terms with the realisation that his whole life has been a lie and that Mandy knew who his real mum was and didn't tell him. Mandy tearfully declares she is his real mum but Vinny insists she's no one to him then walks off leaving Paddy to comfort a distraught Mandy.
