Episode 8928 (30th December 2020)

==Plot==
Mackenzie creeps into the farmhouse in the dead of night, steals Cain's keys then creeps back out again. At the HOP, Jamie practices his speech to inform the employees they won't be receiving a bonus. Jamie doesn't think it's fair but an unsympathetic Kim believes the staff should be grateful to even have jobs. Andrea offers to let Jamie see Millie on New Year's Day so long as Kim isn't around. Charity realises Mackenzie is up to something but she's too busy trying to make things up to Noah and Sarah to learn what nefarious activities he's involved in now. Once Charity walks off, Mackenzie lets himself into the garage. Priya fears Al is still upset with her for trying to contact his adoptive parents. Al assures her he's not but explains he'd rather focus on the future instead of the past. Harriet continues her obsessive hand washing and sanitizing regime. Dawn worries about Harriet's odd behaviour but Will dismisses her concerns. Cain catches Aaron stashing the stolen car parts in the garage. Jamie informs Kim he's seeing Millie on New Year's Day but she can't be there. Kim isn't having it; she refuses to let Andrea stop her seeing her granddaughter, so if Jamie won't stand up to Andrea then she will. At Jacobs Fold, Charity cooks Noah's favourite meal in a bid to persuade him and Sarah to move back home. Noah believes it's all a ploy to stop him joining the army. He explains to Charity that joining the army is the only way he'll ever be able to escape. Charity believes he wants to escape the village but Noah clarifies he actually wants to escape her. Mackenzie produces the garage accounts for Kim as she wants to know every aspect of Cain and Moira's life before tearing them apart. When Kim refuses to pay Mackenzie for the job, Mackenzie decides to turn against her. He pretends to leave Home Farm, then sneaks upstairs. Noah tells Charity he wants to become an engineer and the army will train him and provide him with a career. Charity suggests Noah studies engineering at university instead of joining the army and offers to pay for it. Will orders Harriet to pull herself together as people are beginning to notice something's wrong. After Harriet walks off, Will phones Bishop Grey. Unaware Mackenzie is listening in, Kim informs Jamie she'll be attending dinner at the Mayor's house tomorrow evening. Conversation soon turns to Millie's visit and Jamie makes it clear to Kim that she's not to be there. Harriet pays another visit to Malone's grave. Cain arranges a buyer for the stolen car parts. Needing to find the money for Noah's university tuition, Charity tells Mackenzie she wants in on whatever he was up to this morning. Mackenzie explains that's over but he's got another job lined up. He asks how well she knows Home Farm. When Charity confirms she knows it well, Mackenzie asks her to help him rip off Kim Tate tomorrow night.
