==Plot==
Part One:
At Home Farm, Kim tells Lydia that Will spent the night with Kerry. Lydia can't believe it. Sam bumps into Amelia in Main Street and tells her she can't keep Esther from them. Amelia insists she doesn't want to do that but she's not comfortable bringing her daughter around Belle. Billy receives a text saying "Still on for Today? BIG PAY.". Moments later, Mack arrives at Holdgate Farm and informs Billy he's found him a car in Bradford. Billy tells Mack he can't go to see the car today but lies to Dawn that he is, promising he'll be back in time to bring Evan home from the hospital. Laurel treats Arthur to lunch in the café and they agree to forget about the past few days. An upbeat Will fills Jimmy in on his night with Kerry to make Kim jealous. Jimmy isn't impressed. Kim is annoyed to see Kerry at the Hide when she pops in for lunch. Kerry loudly phones Will in front of Kim in an attempt to make her jealous although Kim vows she's not going to waste her time and anger on Kerry. Gabby offers to take Dawn to the hospital to pick up Evan as Billy hasn't returned in time. Meanwhile in the village, Mack finds a battered and bruised Billy slumped outside Jacobs Fold. When Billy shows Mack the wound on his side, Mack insists he needs to see a doctor but Billy refuses.
Part Two:
After putting Evan to bed, Dawn confides in Gabby that she scared of dropping the ball with Evan whilst he's home between his chemotherapy sessions. Gabby urges her to take one day at a time. As Mack tends to Billy's injuries, he questions what's happened. Billy admits he's been fighting in underground boxing matches and he fell on to something. Mack questions how he could let this happen as he's got a sick child at home but Billy explains is doing this to provide for his family as he's the only one bringing in any income at the moment. Mack wants to take Billy to the hospital but Billy refuses as he can't have the authorities involved. Laurel slips Arthur some condoms. Arthur is horrified. Amelia drops by Wishing Well Cottage with Esther and apologises to Sam and Lydia for letting what she thinks about Belle interfere with their relationship with Esther. Amelia also hands Sam a picture of Esther to give to Samson when he visits him tomorrow. At Jacob's Fold, John examines Billy's wound and concludes it needs to be cleaned and sutured in a sterile environment but Billy remains adamant he's not going to the hospital. Whilst Sam and Esther feed the chickens, Lydia talks to Amelia over a brew. Conversation soon turns to Tom and Amelia tells Lydia they're wrong about him as he's thoughtful and kind. Lydia fears that by the time Amelia sees who Tom really is, she and Esther will be in too deep. John stitches Billy up and tells him not to rush back into the ring as one misplaced punch could be catastrophic. After John leaves, Mack tries to talk Billy out of fighting again but Billy doesn't see any other option. Will hands Kerry cash for last night in front of Amy and Jimmy. When Amy questions Kerry about it, Kerry reveals she and Will only pretended to sleep together to upset Kim. Jimmy isn't impressed and reminds Will it's not too late to save his marriage if he still wants too. Billy returns to Holdgate Farm and lies to Dawn that his injuries are from a PT client. Dawn is upset that Billy was with a client instead of taking Evan home from hospital with her although Billy explains he didn't want her to worry about money on top of worrying about the kids. After Dawn leaves the room, Billy listens to a voicemail asking if he's up for a fight next week with double pay.
