Still raw with grief after his son Nate Robinson (played by Jurell Carter) had been killed and disposed of in a nearby river, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) lashes out after discovering a shocking twist involving his son’s life insurance in scenes yet to air.

Meanwhile, John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), who is behind Nate’s death, finds himself caught in the middle of the brewing storm, as despite his best efforts, he’s unable to convince Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) to steer clear of the funeral.

Aaron instead asks John to convince Nate’s wife, Tracy Robinson (Amy Walsh), to allow the Dingles to go to the funeral, and a begrudging John fails to get through to Tracy.

Cain remains tormented by the belief that Tracy is to blame for Nate’s tragic death, and things only get worse when Sam Dingle (James Hooton) drops the bombshell revealing that Tracy is entitled to Nate’s life insurance payout. Convinced it’s a motive for foul play, Cain sees red.

Cain explodes and tells Tracy he’ll be at the funeral whether she likes it or not. On the day of the service, Tracy is unnerved to see DS Walsh (Amanda Ryan) outside the church.

The Dingles gather behind the hearse, but the funeral party descends into chaos with an argument.

Unable to stand it any longer, John makes an emotional appeal for a truce but is roped into doing the eulogy instead of Tracy.

Aware of DS Walsh’s presence, John struggles as he starts the eulogy, and it looks like, under pressure, he might confess.

Meanwhile, at a dead end with surrogacy agencies, Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) is on a mission to help Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill). But Sarah’s aunt, Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins), is overwhelmed when Charity asks her to be a surrogate.

Charity tries to convince Victoria by explaining that she could be Sarah’s last chance to be a mum. Charity and Cain are united as they commit to making Sarah’s dream come true. But Robert is gobsmacked when Victoria tells him about Charity’s request.

As Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) grows concerned that Cain is pushing his grief aside to focus on Sarah’s surrogacy, Sarah is furious when her uncle, Robert, reveals how Charity went behind her back and asked Vic to carry her baby.

Later, Ryan Stocks (James Moore) gently informs Cain that he’s been scammed when a potential surrogate from an agency is a no-show.
