==Plot==
Part One:
An injured Will manages to claw his way out of the grave he dug for himself. Jai has filled Laurel in on Arthur's new friend and she wants to know why Arthur didn't tell her about him. When Arthur claims they were doing college work, Jai confronts him with their empty beer cans. Using Will's phone pings, Jimmy and Lydia track him to the woods where they find him on the ground next to the grave. Jimmy soon works out Kim was Will's blackmailer. The day's events have greatly affected Moira so she tells Cain she's decided to go ahead with the surgery. Kim places the blackmail money in the Home Farm safe just as Will returns home. Will asks Kim if she has any idea what she's done to him - he thought she was dead. Ruby wants to sort things out with her daughter Steph as she doesn't want her own child to experience what's she's going through with her mum's death. Caleb believes when Steph wants to get in contact, she will although Ruby doubts that as Steph's as stubborn as Caleb. Will asks Kim when she figured out he slept with Rose. Kim states the roses were a test. She hoped she'd feel guilty for testing him, but instead she feels vindicated. She tells Will that everything that happens now is on his head. Arthur doesn't see the big deal in him having a few beers, hitting out at Laurel that just because she can't handle a drink doesn't mean he can't. He immediately apologises and explains he only hid the cans as he didn't think it was fair on her. Jai doesn't buy it. Laurel is alarmed to learn Arthur met Lewis on an app and questions if they had sex. Arthur doesn't answer. He tells Laurel isn't her business and it certainly isn't Jai's. Will acknowledges he messed up, but tells Kim that what she did was pure evil. Kim presents Will with a stack of papers and demands he sign over all of her assets that she was foolish enough to put in his name.
Part Two:
Will refuses to sign the papers and argues that everything he's done is because he didn't want to lose her. Kim believes Will's actions prove she means nothing to him and tells Will she's worth so much more than him in every sense. Moira is terrified at the prosect of undergoing brain surgery but she knows she needs to have it as she doesn't want her boys to see her like Isaac did today, and she definitely doesn't want them to lose her like she did Holly. Cain assures her that won't happen. Arthur believes Jai only told Laurel about seeing him with Lewis to worm his way back in although Laurel disputes this. Kim tells Will that if he ever felt anything for her, he'd sign the papers. Will again refuses. He also refuses to leave Home Farm and declares the haulage company is his. Kim questions where he got the money from to pay her off. Will admits he sold his watch. Kim knows there's more so Will reveals he took a loan from Caleb using the haulage company as collateral. Ruby decides against getting in contact with Steph. She asks Caleb how they ended up with two children who don't want anything to do with them. At Mulberry Cottage, Laurel tells Jai she apricates him telling her about Arthur. When Jai places his hand on Laurel's, Laurel jumps away. She realises Arthur was right and Jai is trying to worm his way back in so she asks him to leave. Kim and Will continue to dissect their failed marriage. Kim tells Will she's given him everything and in return he's lied, cheated, and stolen. She declares they're done and they both know it. She orders Will to sign the papers and leave. Will continues to refuse. After Will leaves the room, Kim removes her wedding rings.
