April asks Bob for money to do some shopping, but her true intentions become clear when she heads off to a house that she saw on Callum's social media.

She stuffs Bob's cash into an envelope and posts it through the letterbox, believing that she's supporting Callum's "bereaved widow". As April rushes off, she doesn't spot Callum open the door. Realising that April was too close for comfort, Callum calls Ray.

After his debrief with Callum, rattled Ray warns April that he knows what she's been up to. He orders her to stop worrying about Callum's fate and to move on from his "death".

Later, Ray tells Celia about April's secretive actions and they start making plans to separate her from her family again.

Ray instructs April to pack a bag, as she'll be heading away from the village for another job. April complies, but Dylan decides to tip off Marlon with a subtle warning that his troubled daughter needs to speak to the police.

Later, when Celia corners Dylan in Tenant's Cottage, she spots a picture of Bear and realises that she has another problem on her hands.

Marlon manages to intercept April at the bus stop before her planned departure for Ray's latest job. He quizzes April on the trouble that she's in, and although she initially denies that there's anything wrong, she soon breaks down by confessing that she's been dealing drugs.

Marlon and Rhona both become determined to free April from the nightmare that she's in – starting with a visit to the police station. April insists that it's not a good idea and drops the bombshell that Celia and Ray have leverage over her, as she killed Callum…

Marlon and Rhona face a terrible dilemma over what to do following April's dark revelations.

Suddenly, Celia pops up at the house and announces that she wants to talk. She then receives a video call from Ray and props up the phone for the whole family to see…

It's Dylan's birthday and Celia presents him with an evil "birthday present" – fellow dealer Robbie tied up. Celia believes that Robbie snitched on their criminal operation, so she hands Dylan a bat and orders him to punish her victim.

Dylan is unable to go through with the violent attack, so she brings in Mick to finish the job instead.

After establishing that Dylan isn't a fighter, Celia reveals that she wants to put him in charge of the forced workers instead – effectively making him her "new Ray".

Dylan is unsettled to realise that he doesn't have much choice in the matter and it dawns on him that he's being exploited. When Dylan goes to check on Robbie after his beating from Mick, will things get worse?

Lydia tries on dresses for the upcoming Jason Donovan concert, but Sam has to come clean with the latest setback they've suffered.

A disappointed Lydia heads upstairs and Sam feels terrible that he wasn't able to make her dreams come true.

Ray finally gets some time for a proper date with Laurel and puts on a picnic spread for her.

Laurel agrees to give Ray one last chance and seems totally smitten – unaware of what Ray is capable of.

Bear's birthday arrives and Paddy reflects on how much he's missing his dad.

The Emmerdale villagers remain oblivious to just how close Bear is, as his nightmare on Celia's farm continues.
