==Plot==
Part One: Billy apologises for accusing Dawn of using again and they make up as she tells him he was justified considering what she'd done. She texts Joe saying they need to talk. Jacob is short with Leyla having barely slept worrying about how he left things with Sarah. Rhona finds Marlon trawling through the trolls' comments trying to find any useful information. Vanessa asks Rhona to cover in the vet's as she needs to go out to a farmer. Joe and Dawn agree to keep quiet over their kiss. Jacob tells Sarah he got scared of what might happen in their future but she sends him packing. Laurel finds Arthur struggling with his maths homework in the café. Anthony overhears and comes over to help. Dawn treats Billy at the Hide and tells him she is appreciative of him. She's momentarily thrown when he asks if there is anything else she wants to get off her chest before telling him no. Arthur is appreciative of Anthony's help and Laurel and Nicola offer to pay him for tutoring both Arthur and Angelica. Anthony agrees to do it for free. A man causes a scene at the vet's, diverting Rhona's attention and allowing a woman to sneak through into Smithy Cottage.
Part Two: Dawn and Billy return home to find Kim has returned from hospital. She reveals that Joe picked her up and is moving into Home Farm. Rhona discovers the woman in April's room, filming and referring to the place as a potential crime scene. The woman continues filming as Rhona confronts her, naming her and referring to her recently kidnapping another child. As she forces the girl back down stairs, she finds the man who diverted her attention, also filming. She forcibly throws them both out as Vanessa arrives back. Sarah tells Jacob she has spoken with Leyla and learned he freaked out because of what she said. She reveals that Leyla has convinced her to give him another chance. Dawn is suspicious of why Joe is moving in to Home Farm as he begins to move his stuff in. He tells Dawn that he does not intend to wreck her family but she knows where he'll be if she needs him. Rhona tells Marlon she does not feel safe in their home anymore. Dawn seeks Joe out but stops herself. In his room, Joe lies on the floor gasping for breath.
