Will Joe survive Moira’s explosive showdown?

24 APRIL - 1 MAY

With Cain frustrated that Moira is at her old farm rather than helping him, there is a growing distance between them. And despite Robert’s protests, Moira insists on helping, which only heightens Robert’s guilt.

Later, sensing something amiss about his behaviour, Moira pushes him for the truth, and Robert confesses he planted the IDs that led to her imprisonment, explaining how Joe Tate blackmailed him with a video of Victoria killing John.

Devastated by his revelation, Moira issues him with an ultimatum. He must go to the police, or she will.

Before long, Aaron is shocked that Robert has confessed and rushes to find her and beg for her silence. Intending to keep Cain calm ahead of his upcoming operation, Moira decides to keep the truth from him.

Later, when Aaron reminds her that Robert is not the only one to blame, a furious Moira heads to confront Joe with a shotgun at Home Farm. When Graham interrupts, Moira stands her ground, furious at Joe for his actions regarding Robert and the farm.

At the pub, Aaron advises Cain to reconcile with Moira before his surgery, and the next day, in a unique episode dealing with Cain and Moira’s relationship, Cain struggles to express his fears while visiting Zak’s grave. Liam is concerned and heads to see if he can help.

Meanwhile, in the pub backroom, a distraught Moira confides in Chas about her fractured relationship with her husband. And Cain soon makes a significant admission to Liam.

Later, Liam informs Moira and Chas that Cain plans to cancel his cancer surgery. Can anyone stop him from making this decision?

When Pollard later approaches Cain by Zak’s grave, he soon shares his own fears about the future. Will Pollard’s words hit home?

The next day, when Moira spots pensive Dawn out for a walk, she can't help but confront her about Joe, which leaves Dawn shaken.

Later, Dawn seeks out Moira to find out more, and Moira explains it was Joe who was solely responsible for her imprisonment, and Dawn urges Moira to tell her everything she knows.
