When Cain quizzes her on her falling out with Aaron, Chas holds her nerve as she continues to hide her affair. But as Cain hears her burner phone vibrating, he soon finds a string of messages from an unknown number, and it’s clear to him that his sister is having an affair. Cain calls the number and an oblivious Al answers, thinking it’s Chas.

As he recognises the voice of his nemesis, Cain’s mood darkens and he uses the phone to set a trap for Al, with Al falling hook, line and sinker as he shows up to the meeting point expecting to find Chas. Instead, it’s Cain and the business end of a shotgun! Will Cain get rid of Al once and for all?

When she realises that Cain now has the burner phone, Chas fears the worst – and so she should! Cain holds Al at gunpoint in the barn, revealing his total disgust over Al’s affair with Chas. But Al’s confidence grows as he coolly deals with Cain’s vitriol, and he ends up striding away. However, Cain tells him that the gun was merely to get his attention.

Cain prepares to fight Al instead, and the two men go head to head. But as both of their gazes land upon the gun lying nearby, they battle it out to reach the weapon. When a gunshot rings out, who has been shot? Has Cain followed through with his plot to destroy Al, or might Al have gained the upper hand, leaving Cain fatally wounded?
