==Plot==
It is the morning after the siege. Annie is cleaning up the vicarage with Donald and Amos is writing up his article for the Hotten Courier when he says Nellie has given her statement. Sgt. MacArthur tells Matt that Derek has confessed to the killing of Harry. Derek had told the police the whole story, that he saw Matt and Harry fight, and saw Harry fall into the stream, then waited for Matt to be long gone from the area, then he went and finished Harry off. Matt is angry that 3 months of his life has been wasted thanks to this murder charge. MacArthur says Matt will get over this in time and he is pleased that the real killer has been caught, and apologises to Matt. Also, a familiar face returns to Beckindale in the name of Joe Sugden. A small party is held for Joe's homecoming and Matt's exoneration, but Matt is still reeling from the event. Joe then says he is back for good as he has been been posted back to Beckindale's NY Estates branch. Matt and Hinton chat, and Matt says this murder allegation has changed him forever, and he will never fully get over it. They say that at least Harry Mowlam's spirit has finally been laid to rest, and his killer is in jail. A JCB is ordered, to demolish the remote hut on Harry's old land where he hid the stolen money. Jackie demolishes it with the JCB. They then say that Harry can rest in peace.
