CAIN SHOWS CHARITY

In this week’s trip to the Dales, Charity is left in total shock when she receives some news via a mysterious phone call.

The next day, Mackenzie fears Charity has discovered his baby secret — and as she struggles with the news she’s been given over the phone, she grabs a bottle of vodka and heads out to clear her head.

Caleb is too busy chatting on the phone to notice his car key has fallen on the ground which Charity picks up and invites Cain along for the ride.

Irritated, Cain’s forced to follow Charity and it soon becomes clear what’s been eating away at her…

Elsewhere this week, when Marshall stands up for Arthur to a bully in front of Nicola and April, there is a moment between the two boys as Arthur realises Marshall really is on his side.

The next day, Laurel makes a call to the school when Arthur tells her his LGBTQ History assembly has been cancelled.

After her call, Laurel discloses that one parent complained. And after an insensitive comment from Jai, bewildered Arthur confronts him, accusing him of being the one that called to cancel the assembly.

As a hurt Arthur feels as though

Jai is encouraging him to suppress his sexuality and go back in the closet, Jai is left pained.

Later, Marshall comes to check on Arthur after the assembly is cancelled.

Frustrated Arthur feels like no one is being straight with him, and warns Marshall that if he’s not being honest then he needs to leave.

Marshall’s cool boy bravado is stripped away and they almost share a kiss but when Marshall’s dad calls, the moment is broken.

Marshall panics and rushes off.

The next day, an upset Laurel has to tell Arthur that he can do his presentation at the assembly but only after some parents have withdrawn their children.

Will she be able to support her son through this?
