==Plot==
Katie gently leads Maisie into the backroom at The Woolpack and assures her that everything will be okay. When Natasha arrives, she's horrified to see the state of her daughter. Finding Ryan at the garage, Katie reveals that Maisie's in a bad way but he buries his conflicted feelings and claims that she's not his problem. Back at Home Farm, Maisie breaks down as a helpless Natasha states that she needs professional help. Nathan despairs at the state of his sister and his resentment towards Ryan builds. Diane turns up to see how Maisie is and grateful for a friend, Natasha reveals the truth about Maisie and Ryan. As she confides in Diane, it's clear that Natasha's struggling to keep it together. Meanwhile, Carl heads to the Dingles' as he's sure that they're to blame for Thomas and Anya's rashes. Zak's miffed by Carl's accusatory tone but is persuaded to let him have a look around when Carl reminds them their dog was recently poisoned. When Carl fails to find anything dangerous, Zak angrily asks him to leave. Elsewhere, Paddy turns up at the farm to look at the ill sheep but is flummoxed when he can't find anything untoward. With that, he decides to examine the dead sheep.
