Graham pays a surprise visit to Rhona at the vets' surgery – now a few weeks on from their initial reunion, which viewers saw in flashbacks this week.

Rhona is annoyed with Graham as he ignored her repeated attempts to get in touch with him over the past few weeks. Will Graham have an excuse for suddenly going off the radar again?

Rhona and Graham's conversation is interrupted when Joe heads into the vets' surgery. As Graham hides, a flabbergasted Joe reveals that he thought he just saw his former right-hand-man in the village. Can Rhona keep her composure and protect Graham's secret?

Once Joe has left again, Graham is surprised to learn that Joe and Kim are now a strong duo at Home Farm rather than the bitter enemies they used to be.

Joe tries to make Kim feel better about Ice's death, suggesting that they could replace him with a horse from the same gene pool. Kim is unimpressed by the idea, pointing out that it wouldn't be the same as you can't bring the dead back to life.

It's the perfect moment for Graham to waltz into Home Farm, testing Kim's theory! Joe and Kim both have big questions to ask as they process Graham's shocking return.

DS Walsh gives Paddy some information on the ongoing investigation into Ray's murder. She reveals that the police are eager to speak to Celia about Ray's death – unaware that she's also dead.

Walsh appears to be on the wrong track for now, which is surely good news for the other suspects in the case.

Laurel hopes that relations between her and Arthur have improved, but she's unaware that he's hiding a large envelope of Ray's cash.

April is more observant, noticing that her friend is suddenly spending big amounts of money. She gives Arthur some tough home truths about the drug trade – explaining that he's profiting from her family's ordeal by spending Ray's cash.

Arthur struggles with feelings of self-loathing following his tensions with April.

He lurks outside Smithy Cottage, considering whether to do the right thing, but is unable to bring himself to hand over Ray's money to the villain's victims.

Victoria is also in a bad place after killing John in Corriedale. Robert urges her to see that she did the right thing, but it's no use.

Victoria explains that, regardless of the circumstances behind John's death, she'll now always be a killer and fears she'll never get over what happened.

News of the horrors at Celia's farm reach Ruby.

Ruby's shocked to realise that Anya might be dead, just weeks after she tried her best to help her.

With Ray and Celia finally out of the picture, Rhona urges her family to start a new chapter.

Rhona argues that it's time for everyone to move on from the darkness of the past year. Will they agree, or is it too soon?
