==Plot==
Part One:
Will is trying to work out the identity of his blackmailer. Jimmy suggests it's Billy and also moots the idea that Ruby and Caleb are responsible. Chas treats Amelia to breakfast in the café to celebrate her 18th birthday. Tom approaches the pair and wishes Amelia a happy birthday. Will bumps into Ruby in the shop and comes away with conclusion that she's not the blackmailer. At Dale View, Belle reads her e-mails unaware Tom is watching her via the webcam. She clicks on the e-mail from Hotten Public Protection which informs her that there is nothing to disclose about Tom's past following her application under Clare's Law. Tom is smug. Whilst at the Butlers Farm, Vanessa not so subtly tries to find out if Nate is seeing someone. After Vanessa leaves, Nate reveals to Mack that he's been offered a job on a wind farm in the Scotland and he has to decide whether to take it by tomorrow. Victoria tries to clear the air with Aaron, explaining when she saw him and John together in the barn she freaked out. Victoria feels lonely with no family around so hopes John will stay and believes that's more likely if he's not involved with Aaron. Aaron assures her it's just casual and he isn't trying to replace Robert. Victoria suspects John has never really felt like he's belonged, but hopes he will grow to feel like that here with her and Harry. Mack goes over the pros and cons of Nate taking the job in the Shetland Islands. He questions if there's any chance Nate and Tracy will be able to work things out if he stayed. Nate doesn't think there is. Mack queries if Nate wants to make it work but Nate avoids the question instead insisting he needs to move on. When Belle bumps into Tom in the shop, he makes a comment about him being a good guy leaving Belle shaken.
Part Two:
Belle demands to know what Tom meant by his comment and questions if he's been spying on her. Tom brings up the "arty" photos he took of Belle then menacingly warns her she needs to be careful with her passwords - it would be terrible if they fell into the wrong hands, as when something is posted online it's there forever. Will knocks at Holdgate Farm and tries to give Billy some money to treat the kids but Billy refuses and insists he can't buy his way back into their lives. Tom flirts with Amelia as she enjoys her first legal drink in The Woolpack. Will receives another message from the blackmailer. Kim can see he's rattled and questions if everything is all right although Will passes it off as being upset with his run in with Billy. Aaron urges John to smooth things over with Victoria as finding him has meant the world to her. He suggests he stick around for a while as Victoria will miss him. John believes Aaron wants him to stay too and is hiding behind Victoria. He insists he's not been auditioning for Robert's replacement. Soon the pair are kissing passionately. Will calls Jimmy up to Home Farm where he informs him that it's not Ruby, Caleb, or Billy behind the messages so it must be Rose. He decides to phone his blackmailer but it goes straight to voicemail. Kim meets with wealth management consultant Peter Mansfield at the Hide. Nate continues to weigh up the pros and cons of taking the job and the effect it'll have on Frankie. Belle attempts to access the photos from her and Tom's honeymoon but the files is password protected and she can't get in. In frustration, she throws her laptop to the floor. Will realises Rose can't be his blackmailer as there was a UK dialling tone when he rang but her social media shows she's in Ibiza. Who is blackmailing Will?
