Zak and Faith wait for Bear to leave. When he finally does, Zak tells Faith he wants to come clean about their kiss to the family. She thinks it's a bad idea. As they argue, one of the pipes on a barrel that Bear has been replacing begins spraying them in beer, hitting the fuse box and plunging the pub into darkness.

Pete informs Cain and Moira that Nate has failed to do a delivery meaning they're running behind. Sam confides in Lydia that Zak kissed Faith.

Nate asks Moira how she's doing after yesterday. Moira claims to be fine then removes Nate's hand from her arm and orders him to do his job. Faith and Zak resolve to put their kiss behind them.

Afterward, Bear asks Paddy to teach him to read but Paddy makes excuses and rushes off. Marlon follows Paddy and warns him he'll need to tell both Bear and Chas the truth.

Harriet calls by the farm and tries to persuade Cain to give Will his job back but he refuses. In the salon, a frustrated Diane asks Bernice why she's behaving like this. Bernice states she's sick of always coming last with Diane although Diane believes Bernice is really annoyed that she and Liam won't get Brook Cottage to themselves now that she's not moving to Cornwall.

It's Matty's 25th birthday but he's in no mood to celebrate as he's still not made up with Ryan. Moira asks Cain to have a word with Ryan then the couple kiss but they're interrupted when Pete and Nate enter the farmhouse kitchen. Jamie and Andrea have been unable to obtain a place for Millie at Connelton Primary School. The Kings are economising following Nicola's sacking from Home Farm and the factory fire.

Graham Graham discovers another one of his chess pieces have been moved and assumes it was Kim but she denies it.

Jai refuses but Harriet insists he has a duty to attend as Frank's employer and states Megan also needs him there. Andrea tries to persuade Jamie of the merits of sending Millie to Baswick Green over Robblesfield Primary but Jamie refuses to send his daughter to a private school.

David fills Eric in on Jacob and Priya's misunderstanding yesterday. Jacob overhears them and questions why they can't get past it. Vanessa, Tracy, Megan and Kerry continue preparations for Frank's funeral. Laurel warns Jai that he needs to tells Nicola about Kim's investment as she's going to find out sooner or later. When Jai explains he needs Nicola's 1% share to give him majority over Kim, Laurel suggests he could make Nicola see that siding with him is in her best interests as well as the best interests of her electorates too. Jessie doesn't believe she'll be reinstated as headteacher of Hotten Academy so she looks few a new job. At the church, preparations for Frank's funeral continue.

It's the day of Frank's funeral. Tracy knocks at Tenant House and informs Megan that she's found something that could prove Frank didn't rob the factory. She shows Megan the recipient for the engagement ring then explains how a ring was found in the factory and she thinks it was for her. Jacob informs David and Leyla that he's decided to do an apprenticeship in hospitality. In the café, Dawn badgers Jai about her wages and questions if their jobs are safe. Laurel promises they are. Megan struggles to process what Tracy is saying.

Tracy has taken the ring receipt to the police but they don't believe it proves Frank's innocence. In a state, Tracy moots the idea of leaving the village with Megan although Vanessa begs her not to leave, telling her sister she doesn't want to lose her as well as Frank. At Pear Tree Cottage, Megan informs Jai that she and Eliza are moving to Newcastle today. Jai can't bear the thought of losing his daughter and is adamant it's not happening but his tirade is interrupted when he receives a call from the insurance company.

A concerned Graham informs Kim that he's been doing some digging into Al. Kim isn't pleased by Graham's interference and insists she knows what she's doing. Robert panics when Cain calls in past the Mill to collect Aaron for a work trip. Whilst Aaron and Liv are out of earshot, Cain warns Robert he's not going to lie for him. After Cain and Aaron leave, Liv complains of feeling unwell although Robert dismisses her. Tracy is surprised to learn Frank was driving for Home James Haulage before his death.

At the hospital, Liv senses the tension between Aaron and Robert and questions what's going on. Robert insists it can wait but is forced to reveal the truth when Diane and Victoria appear. Cain and Moira are fed up of Paddy and Bear staying at the farm. Kerry suggests to Amy that they run away to Spain with Kyle. Liv, Victoria and Diane struggle to digest the news that Robert is being charged with GBH with intent. Victoria fears she'll lose her brother and heads outside to get some air.

Nate is glad to see Moira in his caravan. Moira tells Nate this doesn't mean he has a hold on her then she steps towards him and they kiss. The doctor explains to Liv, Aaron and Robert that there could be any number of triggers for Liv's seizure or it could be an isolated indecent. He advises Liv to be aware of any unusual feelings and suggests she keeps a diary. As Moira and Nate lie in bed, Nate realises Moira feels guilty for sleeping with him so he tells her this doesn't make her a bad person.

Cain prepares for his trip to Scotland. In the village, Kerry approaches Amy and asks her if she's thought about what she said yesterday. Amy has, but she doesn't think running away is a good idea. Kerry insists the longer they stick around, the more chance someone will discover the truth about Frank's death so they need to leave today. Amy is still unsure but Kerry manages to talk her around with dreams of a new life with Kyle.

Kerry is angry that Amy told Nate the truth about the factory fire. Amy insists Nate won't say anything although Kerry isn't so sure and believes they should still leave. Meanwhile at the farm, Moira quizzes Nate about why Amy was so upset yesterday but Nate dismisses it as nothing. When Moira presses him, Nate insists it's personal and orders her to drop it. Andrea is upset as her freelance work is drying up and she also isn't getting work at Take A Vow.
