Further details
Stephen and Alison, keen for revenge, are on a road trip to track down Andrew's birth mother. Meanwhile Alison's newly-single mum is working at the Barleycorn, out of place and miserable. Geoff has a crisis when he's offered a fortune to sell the picturesque burial plot next to his late wife's.
As Stephen and Alison get close to achieving their goal - with the help of the mysterious 'Old George' - have they crossed a line? Emotions run high as Alison's rescue dog takes a sinister interest in Ellen, Stephen and Andrew distrust Julian, and a new arrival surprises everyone.
