1) Jez’s Dark Secret Looms

Jez and John Paul’s relationship faces complications as suspicions arise.

While Jez continues to keep his double life as a serial killer hidden, Ste grows increasingly wary of him.

His concern stems from the disappearance of his beloved cat, Fernando, and he becomes convinced that Jez is involved.
Meanwhile, John Paul begins to question how much Jez truly values their relationship, sensing a growing distance between them.

2) Ste and Rex Share a Kiss
Despite their rocky history, Ste and Rex find themselves drawn closer together. Their relationship has been tense, particularly after Lucas moved into the home once owned by Ste’s late husband, James. However, Rex steps in to support Ste, looking after his young children, Clara and James.
Although Ste initially resists Rex’s attempts to help, Rex admits he struggles to stay away from him. As they bond over their recent struggles, an unexpected moment sees them share a kiss. Could this mark the beginning of something new for the pair?
3) Lucas Receives an Offer from Rex
While Ste’s personal life takes a surprising turn, Lucas remains entangled in a complicated situation. He’s been struggling with revelations about his boyfriend, Dillon, and friend, Frankie, who have both fallen under Rex’s influence.
As Ste questions him about his recent turn to drugs, Lucas is reluctant to reveal the full truth, not wanting to implicate Dillon. Sensing the tension, Rex attempts to smooth things over by offering Lucas a promise—if he ever causes harm to Ste, he will step away from his life. But can Lucas trust him?
4) Cleo and Sienna’s Romance Takes Shape
Cleo is preparing to return to work at the hospital after enduring a traumatic ordeal at the hands of her ex, Abe. However, what’s really on her mind is the passionate kiss she previously shared with Sienna.

After some time away, Sienna is back in the village, and the two women reconnect. As their chemistry reignites, Cleo takes a leap of faith and asks Sienna to be her date to an upcoming village event. With this, a new romance may be on the horizon for the pair.
5) Joel and Leela’s Marriage Faces Struggles
Joel finds himself at the center of drama when he helps Cleo through a panic attack. However, his involvement with his ex-wife doesn’t sit well with Leela. When she discovers he missed work to be with Cleo, Leela confronts him, questioning whether their relationship would have survived if the paternity results for Clara had been different.
Later, Joel spots Cleo with Sienna and questions her about her new romantic direction. However, Cleo turns the conversation around, urging him to focus on his marriage instead of worrying about her personal life. Taking her advice, Joel decides to surprise Leela with a special dinner in an attempt to mend things.
6) Leela’s Secret Meeting Takes a Shocking Turn
While Joel is making efforts to repair their marriage, Leela is keeping secrets of her own. She meets with a therapist, Tommy, to talk about her concerns regarding Joel’s lingering connection with Cleo.
However, their session takes an unexpected turn when Tommy misreads the situation and tries to kiss her. With temptation in the air, will Leela push him away, or will she cross a line that could change everything?
7) Arlo’s Bullying Intensifies
The Hutchinson family continues to struggle with internal conflicts as Arlo continues his relentless bullying of Ro. Tony attempts to bring the family together over dinner, unaware of the emotional distress Ro is facing.

When left alone, Arlo manipulates Ro, feeding him negative thoughts that push him toward a dark mental space. The question remains—how much longer can Ro endure this torment before it reaches a breaking point?
8) Myra’s Intervention for Mercedes
Mercedes remains in custody for Abe’s murder, desperately hoping for someone to step forward and clear her name. While she is temporarily released under guard for chemotherapy treatment, she has no idea that a confrontation awaits her.
