Coming up, the latter collars village solicitor Ethan Anderson (Emile John) in the Woolpack.
He takes it upon himself to ask about Noah’s chances in court – unaware that Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) has overheard their conversation.
Furious, Chloe Harris’ maid gets into an argument about Noah.
Charity has had enough of Kerry’s attitude and decides to throw her out altogether.
2. Noah’s sentence is revealed
But while she’s burning bridges with Kerry, Charity is also at loggerheads with her son as Noah blames her for his troubles.
After her altercation with Kerry, she’s pleased to see Noah outside the pub.
Sadly, he continues to blame her for his woes as she turned him in to the police.
Another argument ensues during which Mackenzie and Charity support one another, much to Noah’s surprise.
However, while in the pub, Charity wonders if she’s done the right thing.
Despite his irritable mood, Noah is grateful for Belle’s support as they leave for court but refuses to get his stuff from Charity’s claiming he doesn’t have a mother anymore.
Later on, Charity is determined to put on a brave face ahead of Noah’s sentencing – while Sarah realises that everybody has forgotten her birthday, gutted to have Noah’s issues overshadow her big day.
Charity’s devastated to witness her son leave the village looking so lost and alone but their relationship seems damaged beyond repair.
While in court, Charity sees Noah’s reaction to her arrival and regrets coming.
As the sentencing commences, the group anxiously await Noah’s fate.
Will Noah actually go to prison?
3. Will is blackmailed
Meanwhile, Will Taylor (played by Dean Andrews) is trying to track down Jamie Tate after he was told the truth about him faking his death.
As viewers know, Will has come up with a plan with the help of his former cellmate Mike – but this is set to backfire.
This week, Will is trying to throw Kim Tate (Claire King) off the scent as she worries he’s hiding something.
While at the Scrapyard, the pair arrange to go out for dinner until a shady Mike turns up unannounced with an important update for Will.
Mike tells Will that a man fitting Jamie’s description was spotted near Hazel’s house – and suggests a DNA test.
Already overwhelmed by the thought of having to lie to Kim, who still doesn’t know her son is actually alive and well, Will offers Gabby help to look after Thomas.
Gabby accepts and, as he keeps an eye on baby Thomas, Will unpacks the DNA Sample Kit, becoming aware that he’s standing Kim up in the process.
Kim is fuming when Will leaves her all alone for dinner, prompting him to feel grim at the web of lies he’s spinning.
Will later tells Mike he has a sample of Thomas’ hair and gives him a firm deadline of twenty-four hours to get back to him, but Mike has a trick up his sleeve.
To his shock, Mike demands three grand for the DNA results, leaving Will to beg for a few more hours to look for the cash.
