Anthony’s daughter Ruby remained unsettled by his presence in the village. The reasons why were subsequently explored in a flashback episode, which revealed that Anthony had sexually abused Ruby when she was a child.

Next week, Anthony shares some grim news with Caleb about his health.

Anthony is starting to prepare for the end, but he asks Caleb to keep quiet around Steph and Ruby.

Meanwhile, Ruby continues with her plan to arrange a DNA test to find out whether Steph’s biological father is Caleb or Anthony.

Ruby confides in Chas about her decision, although she continues to tell only part of the story as she doesn’t mention Anthony’s guilt.

There’s a difficult moment for Ruby when Caleb returns home from work early, just as she’s gathering his DNA. She’s relieved when she manages to navigate this close call.

Later in the week, Ruby tries to enjoy a spa day with Steph. The bonding experience brings them closer together, but tensions flare up again when Steph finds a photo from Ruby’s pregnancy.

Ruby is triggered by the photo and responds badly, sparking more tensions between mother and daughter.

Anthony urges Steph to be patient with her mum, hinting that there are hidden complexities at play. Is it only a matter of time before Steph and Caleb discover the disturbing truth about what he’s capable of?
