==Plot==
Part One:
Sam discovers Tina has pitched her caravan outside Wishing Well Cottage and orders her to shift it but Tina has no intention of leaving before she gets her fair share of the house. Jade appears in the farmhouse kitchen and informs Ross that they can't use their usual spot for the fight but she's found a new venue - one of Moira's barns. Ross is adamant they can't have the fight at the farm but Jade refuses to take no for an answer. Chas and Liam have spent the night together. Ahead of the fight, Dawn reminds Billy to stick to the plan and allow Ross to win. Afterwards, she shows him an envelope of cash that she's managed to get her hands on and explains she's going to use to bet on Ross so they can treble their money. Things are awkward between Liam and Ella at the doctor's surgery. Ella does her best to hide her heartbreak behind a cloak of professionalism. Mack discovers one of the barns is being used for the fight and warns Ross he's in for it if Cain finds out although Ross is confident it'll be all over by the time he gets back from visiting Belle. Dawn arrives at the farm and asks Ross about placing a bet without arousing suspicion. Ross tells Dawn to leave it to him. Sam finds Tina laying flowers at Zak's grave. When Tina brings up her getting her share of the house, Sam walks off. Alone at Zak's grave, Tina declares "where there's a will, there's a way. But where there's no will, Tina finally gets her payday."
Part Two:
Mack tracks Aaron down to the pub and asks him to act as reinforcements in case things get out of hand at the fight. Meanwhile at the barn, Ross talks smack to the camera that's livestreaming the bout but Billy would rather do his fighting in the ring. Sam searches Wishing Well Cottage for Zak's will, as without it, Tina might have claim on the house. Vinny ponders if selling is such a bad thing. Sam phones Lydia who tells him the will is under the blanket on Zak's chair. Sam checks there but it's gone which leaves him fearing Tina has snuck in and taken it. Dawn, Aaron, and Mackenzie watch on as Ross and Billy fight. Ross gets a good punch in, but whilst he's busy gloating to the camera, Billy retaliates. Ella pretends to call someone in front of Liam but she's caught out when her phone rings. Ross manages to get the upper hand in the fight and punches Billy to the ground. However, Billy doesn't stick to the plan to throw the fight and gets back up leaving Dawn and Ross confused. Ella admits to Liam that she wanted to make him jealous. She concludes Liam must've dumped her because she's frigid in bed and promises she can change. When Liam tells Ella he doesn't want her to change, Ella leans in to kiss him but Liam stops her. Jade is delighted with how the fight is going as Ross and Billy are putting on a good show and there's a lot more viewers than usual. Moments later, John turns up at the barn to give Aaron and Mack the heads up that the police are on the way. Jade overhears so she orders the livestream feed to be cut and calls an end to the fight.
Part Three:
As the spectators flee the barn, Jade instructs her henchmen to grab the laptop and the cash. Mack has reason to be at the barn, so he sticks around. He spots the bag of money has been left lying so he swipes it and hides it amongst the hay bales. Sam confronts Tina about stealing Zak's will but Tina denies it and instead uses the opportunity to continue to put pressure on Mandy. Jade's henchmen Deano and Tiny discover the money is missing and argue about who's responsible for the mess-up. However, they're forced to put the argument on the back burner when the police arrive. Deano has a run in with Aaron as he's scarpering and violently punches him in the abdomen. Aaron collapses. As Aaron withers in pain, John examines him and diagnoses him with tension pneumothorax - his lung has collapsed and the escaped air is putting pressure on his other lung and heart. John has no option but to perform an emergency procedure on the barn floor. Mandy corners Tina outside the pub toilets and orders her to stay away from Vinny. When Tina promises she won't say a thing to Vinny, Mandy hands over Zak's will. Dawn and Billy argue as they walk home from the fight. John performs an emergency decompression on Aaron, just as the paramedics arrive to whisk Aaron off to hospital. Vinny wonders if Tina isn't after money and all she really wants is to come home. At the same time, Tina offers to help Sam look for Zak's will but suggests there wasn't a will in the first place and they made it up in the hopes that she'd give up what's rightfully hers. Tina suggests if the family all chipped in, they could buy her out, although Sam discloses Vinny has already agreed to lend him the money should it come to that. Tina's ears perk up at the news that Vinny has a lot of money stashed away and queries how he came to have it. Sam explains it was an inheritance from when his wife Liv died. Cain arrives back from visiting Belle. Shortly afterward, Chas receives a call informing her of the fight at Butlers and that Aaron's in hospital. Cain vows Ross is dead when he finds him.
Part Four:
Dawn and Billy continue to argue. Dawn is furious Billy didn't stick to the plan and throw the fight. A panicked Chas bursts into Tenant House and tells Liam that Aaron is in hospital so Liam offers to drive her there. By the time Ella comes downstairs, she discovers Liam has gone. Tina confronts Mandy at the salon and questions why she didn't tell her that Vinny's a rich widower. She threatens to stick around and get to know Vinny unless Mandy manages to get Wishing Well Cottage up for sale. Once the police have finish examining the barn, Mack retrieves the bag of cash. He can't believe his luck. Once back at Holdgate Farm, Dawn admits to Billy that she pawned her wedding ring to get the money for the bet. She's furious Billy let his pride get in the way of throwing the fight and allowing them to triple their money. Billy promises to get her ring back but Dawn no longer cares. Liam is impressed to learn John saved Aaron's life by carrying out a chest drain using a pen. Chas thanks John profusely. Cain pulls up alongside Ross as he's walking along the road. Ross tells Cain they need to get out of here but Cain refuses to let Ross in the car and drives away without him, just as a police car approaches. Subsequently, Ross is arrested.
