Episode 9558/9559 (27th December 2022)

==Plot==
Part One:
Chas has told Charity about Caleb. A stunned Charity has lots of questions but Chas doesn't have any answers so she's arranged to go to the prison to speak to Cain. A miserable Bernice fills Nicola in on her Christmas Day kiss with Liam and how he was sick on her shoes. Paddy tries to talk to Chas but Chas has to rush off to the prison. At the farm, Mack asks Moira about Cain's brother, but like Chas, Moira doesn't have any answers. She's more concerned about Kyle as he's wet the bed again. Mack wonders why Caleb has turned up after all these years and what the mystery Christmas presents were about as he had to have done research on them to pick such good gifts. Mack comments maybe he'll need to do some research of his own about Caleb. At that moment, Caleb appears in the farm kitchen and asks what he wants to know. A worked-up Greg turns up at Tall Trees Cottage and confronts Ethan and Marcus for spreading the allegations again him. The couple protest their innocence. Over a prison visiting table, Chas confronts Cain about Caleb, insisting he owes her to least help her understand why he kept their brother from them for all these years. Cain states he doesn't owe her anything, and in his anger, he nearly lets slip that Kyle killed Al.
Part Two:
Chas wants to know why Cain didn't tell her about Caleb before. She recalls Cain wanted to tell her something the day she told him she was pregnant with Aaron and questions if it was about Caleb. Cain didn't see the point in telling her after the bombshell she just dropped as their lives were messed up enough. Chas next asks if Faith knew he told Caleb she was death. Cain states she didn't. In a bid to hurt Cain, Chas informs him she fired off Faith's firework on Christmas Day as she was lonely and needed to feel a connection. Soon the warring siblings are throwing jabs and insults at each other until Cain gets up and walks off. Caleb asks Moira and Mack if they've got any questions for him. Mack wants to know what he was playing at with the creepy gifts but Moira is more concerned about what Caleb is after, especially when he knows Cain doesn't want him anywhere near his family. Caleb explains he wants to make things right with Cain and he that he hoped that as Cain's wife, she would know how to go about it. Marcus's business has been bombarded with dozens of one-star reviews. Ethan knows Greg is behind it and wants to confront him but Marcus stops him insisting he can't let Greg bait him. Ethan secretly texts Greg and arranges to meet in a layby. Moira refuses to help Caleb mend fences with Cain. As they are talking, Kyle walks into the kitchen and Caleb nearly lets slip he's his uncle but Moira stops him. After settling Kyle in front of the television, a furious Moira tells Caleb he has no right to tell Kyle he's his uncle, and visiting her behind Cain's back is no way to start a relationship with his brother either. Caleb feels he had no other choice. Moira reminds Caleb it's been thirty years and urges him to take the hint. As Caleb leaves, he tells Moira he likes everything about her and he's glad Cain has her in his corner. When Chas returns from visiting Cain, the Dingles confront her about setting Faith's fireworks off without them present. Chas admits it was selfish and apologises. Afterward, Chas tries to talk to Paddy again, insisting she'll do anything she can for them to get along. Paddy tells her to leave the village like she planned then.
