The strain of recent events is taking its toll on Charity. After an argument with Debbie she admits that she needs all the friends she can get in her hour of need. Later, feisty Charity makes her way to Home Farm to try and make Chris see reason. But her pleas fall on deaf ears as Chris turfs Charity out with only her car keys and a few suitcases of clothes. Chris relishes the power he has over his estranged wife, as he calls the police to report her violent tendencies once again. Determined not to be intimidated by Cain in The Woolpack, Chris hits back with an underhand comment about Debbie going on the game. This is the final straw for Cain as he launches himself at Chris, threatening to kill him. Louise and Terry intervene, throwing Cain out the pub for causing yet another disturbance.
