After attacking Amelia’s stalker, Lloyd, Dan is feeling guilty for what he did. Ignoring Amelia’s warnings not to make anything worse, Dan heads to the hospital to see just exactly what he did and bumps into Lloyd’s wife, Julie.

Things go from bad to worse as he is taken in for questioning and it becomes clear that his trip to the hospital may have implicated him further. Much to Dan’s surprise, the DS reveals Lloyd actually hasn’t broken any laws when they investigated his phone. Dan is then charged with GBH and is scared witless.

Dan attempts to keep the news from Amelia, but when she stumbles upon the paperwork, he struggles to hide the truth. Later on, he hits the bottle and is eventually found in a state by David, worrying that if Lloyd dies, he’ll be charged with murder.

Back in the village, Dan and Amelia have a heart-to-heart but things turn nasty as Dan blames Amelia’s social media activity on his moment of madness. With Amelia devastated, is there a way back for these two?

Nicky arrives with a card for Clemmie and it’s safe to say Gabby isn’t happy to see him. But his arrival gets more awkward as she manages to spill Dawn’s pregnancy to Lucas and Clemmie.

Chaos ensues as poor Clemmie struggles to process the news, fearing she’ll be forced out of the family. Among the madness, Clemmie pushes a dining stool into Dawn’s stomach, and she collapses. Thankfully, at the hospital, Dawn and Billy are told the baby is OK. However, it’s clear Clemmie isn’t OK and she runs away in the dead of night. Will anyone find her?
