2. Caleb plots to take over Moira's farm

With no idea that he's out to destroy her, Kim Tate (Claire King) is fully on board with Caleb's plan to convince Moira to sell them Butlers Farm. As Caleb continues to act the interested observer in the face of Moira's financial hardship, his son Nicky (Lewis Cope) is stressed by several failed attempts to enter Kim's password which almost lock her laptop, and tells Caleb they need to find another way in.

Meanwhile, at Butlers, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) joins Moira in the field, and Cain is shocked when Moira emotionally concedes that she can't keep the farm afloat.

Caleb watches from a distance, and Cain is later wary when Caleb arrives after being invited by Moira. Caleb suggests a possible way out for her, but Moira is not impressed with his suggestion to sell the farm to Kim for the stud farm. In the end, Moira swallows her pride and tells Kim to make her an offer.

But little does Moira know that she's now a pawn in Caleb's plan against Kim, as we see Caleb in a secret meeting with contact Adrian, who hands over USB sticks to allow him to install malware on Kim's laptop so he can access her passwords. What's next in Caleb's scheme?

3. Wendy lies to spend time with Liam
