==Plot==
Zak warns Lisa that he doesn't want her with him for his hospital appointment. Lisa is worried as Zak seems more preoccupied by the health of his chickens than his own. Soon afterwards, Sam is annoyed when Zak hasn't turned up at Home Farm and grumbles to Lisa. However, Lisa warns him that Zak's cancer may have returned. Sam is gutted, feeling guilty about how he's treated Zak recently. Later, Lisa is surprised when Zak returns home with lots of cash following a deal with two unfamiliar men, but he heads straight out to see his chickens. He is worried about one of them, and not wanting the hen to suffer, he kills it. Sam is shocked to find what Zak has done. Meanwhile, Ali quizzes Ruby and is shocked to hear that Sean is getting bullied because of her. Ali wants to talk to him about it, but Ruby pleads with her not to as it's the first time that Sean has confided in her. Sean is later relieved when Ruby reveals that she has asked Ali to lay off him, omitting to say that Ali now knows about the bullying. Later, Dan is shocked by Sean's turnaround when he sticks up for Ruby, saying he likes living with her and his mum. Elsewhere, Cameron delays breaking up with Debbie when the school call to report that Sarah is ill, Sandy explains to Laurel that he's asked Ruby if she can start helping him, while Nicola worries about Angelica being left out as Jimmy is excited about spending time with Elliot.
