3. Kim Steps In to Sort Out the Battle Between Joe and Caleb: The animosity between Joe and Caleb reaches boiling point in the aftermath of recent revelations. As they lock horns, vying for control and letting their tempers flare, the arrival of the police at the Milligan’s initially brings a wave of relief – they’re investigating a break-in at the depot, not Anthony’s disappearance. However, Joe’s smug entrance reignites the tension, quickly escalating into a physical altercation that Kane is forced to break up. Recognizing the potential for disaster, Kane knows he needs to intervene decisively to quell this escalating feud.
4. Kane and Kim Join Forces: In a surprising alliance, Kane seeks out Kim at Home Farm. Recognizing her influence and sharp mind, he proposes a partnership to put an end to the volatile conflict between Joe and Caleb.

She then summons Caleb and Ruby to Home Farm, where they find an unexpected trio waiting: Kim, Joe, and Kane.
5. Kim Puts Forward an Offer to Help Joe: Amidst the simmering tension and bitter resentment, Kim makes a calculated move. She presents Caleb with an offer he might find hard to refuse: the coveted land around the depot, the very land he’s been fighting for. The condition? An end to the war between him and Joe. Caleb weighs his options, but Kim’s steely gaze makes it clear – this is her final, non-negotiable offer.
6. Queen Kim and Prince Joe Take Control of the Dales: With the deal potentially sealed, Kim’s fury towards Joe simmers beneath the surface. He promises her a future built on honesty, a vow Kim holds him to. She declares that together, they will keep their enemies close and forge an empire in the Dales, an empire that will be seemingly unstoppable. Queen Kim is unequivocally back in charge, with Joe seemingly her newly appointed prince.
7. Billy Has a Confrontation with Ross: Billy’s suspicion regarding Dawn’s fidelity intensifies, fueled by Max’s insinuations that she’s seeing someone else – and his prime suspect is Ross. Billy’s attempt to check Dawn’s phone is thwarted by a newly changed passcode, further solidifying his doubts and pushing him closer to a confrontation.
8. Ross Accused: Joe, ever the manipulator, continues to stir the pot, subtly reinforcing Billy’s belief that Dawn is having an affair with Ross.

In a moment of raw emotion, Billy inadvertently reveals his suspicions about the affair in front of a stunned Clemmy.
9. Joe Tries to Console Billy: Billy is left heartbroken and reeling when Clemmy refuses to speak to him, the weight of his accusations crushing him. Recognizing the magnitude of his mistake, he turns to Joe for comfort. As Billy embraces him, Joe is consumed by guilt, knowing he is the architect of this pain.
10. Billy Leaves: In a significant development, Billy decides to leave Home Farm. Joe, with a calculated air of concern, tells Dawn that it’s probably for the best. The following day, Ross, surprisingly, advises Billy to ensure his issues with Dawn don’t negatively impact his relationship with his children. Billy attempts to mend fences, arriving with flowers and an apology for Dawn. However, they now face the agonizing task of telling Clemmy and Lucas that their parents have separated.
11. Kim Steps In to Support Billy: Billy’s world has been turned upside down, and the reality of his fractured family hits him hard. The prospect of telling his children about the divorce weighs heavily on his heart, compounded by the thought of leaving the home they’ve built together. The uncertainty of the future amplifies his distress. Recognizing his turmoil, Kim extends a surprising offer of support, allowing him to stay in the holiday cottage for as long as he needs. This gesture provides Billy with a much-needed sanctuary, a space to process his emotions and figure out his next steps without the immediate pressure of finding a new home. For Billy, Kim’s offer is a lifeline in a sea of despair.
12. Who Attacked Liam?: Mackenzie is left in utter shock and disbelief when he discovers Liam unconscious and injured in the street. The sudden and brutal attack leaves him scrambling for answers. Chaz and Aaron arrive swiftly, rushing to Liam’s side upon hearing the news. The burning question on everyone’s lips is: who is responsible for this vicious assault?
