Archie's home from hospital
*Hour-long episode* Born three months early and now 41 days old, baby Archie is at last ready to move out of hospital and into the home provided for him by his father, Jai. Daddy won't be living with Archie, though. Mummy Rachel has told Jai to stay away; it's just her and Archie now. That said, Sam does seem to be becoming a bigger and bigger part of their lives. It's Sam with Rachel and Archie that Jai sees when he looks through the cottage window. They look like a perfect family - and that's not a look Jai likes. He wants to be part of that picture - and he wants Sam out of it. Cain doesn't like the mess Debbie's got herself into with Dom (who doesn't like what he sees in Debbie now that he's seen her for the cold, calculating Dingle that she is). Cain knows that if Dom drops Debbie in it with the cops it's game over. Debbie won't be told, though. Instead of backing away from her dodgy dealings, she cuts Dom in for 10 per cent. But it doesn't make him think any better of her - and Cain is furious. What makes Cain smile is the thought of going to the Farmers' Ball with Moira. What upsets him again is Moira's failure to appear for their date. She's got farm problems and doesn't solve them until very late, too late for the ball but not too late for a private party with Cain.
