==Plot==
Part One: Caleb has spent the night asleep on the sofa at the Woolpack. He wants to confront Anthony but Chas advises him to tread lightly for Ruby's sake. Victoria tries to persuade Wendy not to leave but she is adamant. Marlon receives a call from an unknown number claiming April has been seen at a petrol station by the Hotten Bypass in the last half an hour. Rhona drives him there. Caleb berates himself for not picking up on anything between Ruby and Anthony and feels he has failed to protect her. Chas encourages him to be there now for her. Bob is still angry with Wendy when she tells him that she's leaving and is just there to pick up some of her things. Bob softens as she apologises to him again. Nicola and Laurel try to talk to Anthony about his tutoring and are put out when he dismisses them. He tells Steph that he's concerned about Ruby's mental state. Marlon and Rhona arrive back after discovering the call was a crank from someone wanting the reward money. Wendy leaves them stunned when she tells them that she was responsible for the article that was published about Rhona and that she is now leaving for good. Ruby goes to see Caleb after he texts her. He explains about how he has been in touch with Rob who told him about her being scared of Anthony and Chas helped him to put the pieces together. He asks her if Steph is Anthony's daughter. She sobs as she reveals he is correct. 
Part Two: Ruby opens up to Caleb about what Anthony did to her. Harry, Victoria, Cathy, Manpreet and Liam see Wendy off. Bob watches on as she goes. Ruby tells Caleb she tried to tell her mother once but she was in denial and she called her a fantasist so she never told anyone again. She believes her mother knew really and buried it down, leaving all her money to Steph in an attempt to atone and believes that may have been why she wanted Ruby to go and see her in the hospital. Caleb regrets not letting Ruby go and see her, saying he thought he was protecting her. He realises now why she never wanted Steph seeing her grandparents. Ruby admits that it was also why she was also keen to get Steph to boarding school. She tells him the only reason Anthony is living with them is because Steph wanted him to but seeing him again just brought back everything she'd tried to forget. She tries to calm Caleb as she informs him of how Anthony came to the B&B yesterday and she confronted him. She tells him she doesn't want Steph to ever find out. Brenda checks on Bob who has been drinking and licking his wounds over Wendy leaving him. He tells Brenda she's special to him and moves in for a kiss but she dodges him. Caleb tells Ruby he wishes she could have opened up to him about Anthony when they were younger. She admits that Caleb was the only bright thing in her life and she couldn't bring herself to. Bob apologises to Brenda, admitting he's lonely and they agree to forget the incident. Anthony buys Laurel and Nicola a drink in the pub as an apology for being rude to them earlier. Chas refuses when he offers to buy her one and is short with him. Aaron witnesses this and is suspicious. Ruby hears someone leaving as she comes downstairs and Caleb hides a package underneath a cushion. He covers that it was just someone from the depot picking up some paperwork. When she goes back upstairs, he pulls a handgun out of the package.
