==Plot==
Part One:
Chas and Paddy lay flowers on Grace's grave to mark the fourth anniversary of their daughter's birth and death. Will calls by Woodbine Cottage to speak to Harriet. Vinny updates Mandy and Charity on how Liv is doing. Mandy wants to go to the Hide later to check up on her but Vinny forbids it so Mandy asks Paddy to go instead. Will acknowledges what he and Harriet had was special, but tells his ex-girlfriend she was way out of line with what she said about Kim yesterday. He insists Kim isn't the monster people make her out to be and he loves her. Paddy arrives at the Hide just as Liv receives a call from Sandra. Liv ignores it and questions why she let her mother back into her life. Paddy encourages Liv to take the rest of the day off and go home and relax. Meanwhile at the Mill, Sandra's accomplice Terry peers through the windows. Liv arrives home shortly afterward and puts the kettle on. She hears a noise but quickly dismisses it as nothing and resumes making her drink. Suddenly, Terry appears and demands Liv retract her statement, warning her things will get nasty if she doesn't do as he asks. When Liv decides to call the police, Terry knocks the phone from her hand, unaware Liv has already managed to place the call. Liv tries to make run for the door but Terry stops her and pushes her to the ground. Chas and Al meet at a bridge. Al acknowledges it's Grace's anniversary asks Chas if she wants to talk about it. Chas tells him about the picture she has of Grace in her mind and what she would've been like. Chas states Paddy's way of coping is to never talk about it and put all the hopes he has for Grace into Eve, but she wants to keep both of her daughters alive in her mind. Terry pins Liv to the ground and demands she changes her statement. Liv refuses. She pushes Terry off of her and tries to get away but Terry grabs her. Liv sinks her teeth into Terry's hand, causing him to let go of her but Terry quickly forgets the pain and violently shoves Liv against the wall. Liv bangs her head and is knocked unconscious. As Terry goes to flee the house, he runs straight into Aaron Dingle who demands to know who the hell he is.
Part Two:
Upon seeing Liv lying unconscious, a furious Aaron grabs Terry and demands to know what he's done to his little sister. Terry tries to claim he found Liv like that but Liv comes around and states he didn't so Aaron punches Terry. Before Aaron can inflict much damage, Harriet appears and pulls Aaron off Terry. Liv falls unconscious again. Aaron rushes over to her but Liv is no longer responding. At Tall Trees Cottage, Nate, Ryan, and Mack play video games. Both Aaron and Terry are carted off to the police station as Liv is stretchered out of the Mill. Mack, Nate and Ryan run out of beer so Mack suggests they go into town, questioning what's the worst that can happen. Nate quips "You getting smashed and sleeping with someone you shouldn't" then laughs. Mack doesn't think it's funny. Ryan quickly realises Mack and Nate are hiding something. Liv is rushed straight to intensive care. A doctor informs Vinny and Paddy that they're concerned Liv hasn't regained consciousness and will need to do a CT scan to rule out internal bleeding. Ryan demands to know what Mack has been up to. Mack denies any wrongdoing but after Nate tells him to give it up, he is forced to confess to drunkenly sleeping with someone else. Ryan urges Mack to tell Charity what he's done but Mack doesn't want to upset her over nothing. Aaron and Chas arrive at the hospital and Paddy informs them Liv is being kept on a ventilator overnight. When Aaron heads into Liv's ICU room, Vinny tells Aaron he isn't wanted here, reminding him he abandoned Liv when she was on a murder charge and didn't even bother to text her on her wedding day. Aaron insists he's here now but Vinny states it's too little, too late and orders him to go away, adamant Liv doesn't want to see him. Aaron does as Vinny asks. As he walks away, Aaron tells Chas and Paddy he only came back to make things right with Liv and now he fears that he may never get the chance.
