Rhona and Paddy argue when Paddy says that he thinks they should let Vanessa go as she only has a few weeks left anyway. Taking a different approach, Rhona heads to see her own solicitor. Soon afterwards, Vanessa feels terrible as Paddy explains that the solicitor made it clear they could lose everything if they stick to their guns. That evening at Smithy Cottage, Rhona is in agony as she tries to stand up. Paddy tells her that she can't go on like this, but Rhona makes it clear she has no option as he won't let Vanessa cover. Vanessa arrives and the couple stop bickering when she tells them that she may have the answer. Vanessa hands over her resignation letter, but Rhona is furious as Paddy instantly accepts it. Meanwhile, Cain confronts Debbie about the money going missing from Moira's.
