==Plot==
Part One:
Jai sneaks into Caleb's office at the depot and jimmies the desk drawer open with a butter knife. He looks though Caleb's papers and is stunned by what he finds. Things continue to be strained between Mandy and Vinny. Paddy thinks Mandy should give Vinny space but Lydia encourages her to do something to win him around. As Caleb prepares to make a speech at the depot launch party, Jai storms over and demands answers. Infront of the launch attendees, Caleb informs Jai that he has no financial stake in the business - the business is called "Caleb Miligan International" - the clue is in the name. Jai reminds Caleb they've got a contract, but Caleb informs him he's actually invested in a shell company and he doubts that business will ever be out of the red. Jai realises he's lost everything and protests Caleb can't do this. Jimmy lets slip to Brenda that Eric wasn't in the shop most of yesterday which leads Brenda to question why Eric lied to her. Jai demands his money back, threatening to go to the police if he doesn't get it. Caleb is unfazed by Jai's threats as Jai can't go to the police without exposing that he fraudulently hid his wealth to avoid a divorce settlement. A desperate Jai insists he won't let Caleb do this but Caleb states it's already done. Eric tells Brenda a sanitised version of yesterday's event. Brenda doesn't understand why he didn't tell her as they're supposed to be coping with his illness together. Eric explains he didn't want to burden her. Caleb finds Jai trashing the depot using a forklift. When Caleb tells Jai to admit defeat, Jai drives the forklift towards him. Tom accosts Paddy outside the HOP and makes it clear he'll be returning to work tomorrow. Paddy has no choice but to agree when Tom threatens to report the surgery for not putting any work on the Dingles animals through the books. Using the forklift, Jai pins Caleb up against a stack of wooden pallets. As Caleb struggles to breathe, Jai again demands his money back. A woman, who is videoing the altercation, approaches and orders Jai to let Caleb go. Jai refuses until he gets what he wants but the woman tells Jai it'll be a long wait, as her dad never gives anyone what they want. The woman is Caleb and Ruby's daughter, Steph.
Part Two:
Steph orders Jai to back up the forklift. Whilst Caleb struggles to get his breath back, Steph warns Jai that he's going down for this. As Jai walks off, he vows Caleb isn't getting the better of him although Caleb comments he already has. Tom informs Jimmy that he's going back to work tomorrow. Jimmy inquires if this means he'll be looking for his own place now but Tom guilt trips his uncle into letting him stay on at Victoria Cottage. At Pollard's Barn, Eric is grateful that Brenda has stuck by him so he asks her to marry him. Mandy asks Vinny to forgive her. Vinny isn't happy that she lied to him for all these years but understands why she did. He tells Mandy he loves her despite her many faults and calls her "mum" again. Brenda agrees to marry Eric. When Eric get up to get a bottle of bubbly, Brenda notices he's shaking although Eric claims it's due to the excitement. Caleb can't believe Steph is here after all these years. He regrets that he's let her down in the past and tells his daughter that if he could turn back the clock, he would. Steph states she blames Ruby as much as him, commenting she doesn't understand why he wastes so much energy trying to keep the selfish cow happy. Caleb doesn't appreciate Steph talking about Ruby like that. He tells Steph that Ruby really cares about her and suggests they phone her. Steph has no interest in talking to her mum - the only reason she turned up is because Nicky told her Ruby is visiting him so she knew she wouldn't bump into her. Jai being conned by Caleb is the talk of the pub which is how Laurel learns Jai has lost everything, half of which is hers. At that moment, Jai walks in so Laurel demands answers. Jai apologises and promises to do right by her somehow. Caleb acknowledges he and Ruby made mistakes in the past but he hopes to put all that behind them and start again. Steph refuses. Once she gets her inheritance, she's gone for good.
