Still reeling from his beating yesterday, Al gets a threatening message from Gavin and is later disturbed to catch Gavin talking to Ellis. Feeling the pressure, Al gazes back at The Woolpack and comes up with a plan to get out of this nightmare. Meanwhile, Meena reports Dawn to Social Services, before a horrified Manpreet grabs Meena's phone and kills the call. Meena is outraged to have been caught in the act but decides to play the concerned neighbour. Manpreet appears to soften, but, upon Meena's exit, Manpreet reassesses the situation. Elsewhere, as Will approaches Malone's grave with Kim, he is alarmed to find it freshly dug up and worries that, if Kim really did hear something incriminating, this could be part of her revenge. But she reveals that she removed the corpse so that Will no longer feels tethered to her – he can decide whether he stays or goes. .
