But they’re horrified when a huge long-arm digger rears its head and Ray’s men start to dismantle their camp.
Ken stands in the bulldozer’s path refusing to move while Abi jumps into the cab of a digger.
Abi puts her foot in it, however, when she loses control of the long arm, which smashes down on a substation and knocks everyone’s power out.

Meanwhile, in the bistro, Faye agrees to go for a drink with Ray.
But when Gary enters the building later with the signed factory contract for Ray, he’s horrified to hear Faye’s muffled cries coming from the office.
