As Rose Jackson prepares to leave Home Farm, she and Will share a clandestine kiss behind the back of his partner, Kim Tate. However, this kiss doesn’t stay hidden for long, as someone learns of the affair and starts blackmailing Will. In the upcoming episodes, Will is on edge, anxiously waiting to discover the identity of the blackmailer and fearing what they might reveal.

While waiting in a layby for the blackmailer to make contact, Will receives a distressing call from Caleb Milligan informing him that the barn is on fire. Rushing to the scene, Will misses his chance to confront the blackmailer. The situation worsens when the blackmailer calls Will again with a threatening message, leaving him to mask his fear while trying to support the Dingles following the fire.

The soap has revealed that the fire was ignited by Moira, who is increasingly troubled. During a confrontation with Ruby in the barn, Moira, overwhelmed by hallucinations of her old nemesis Emma Barton, accidentally douses the barn in tractor fuel. A warning gunshot triggers a blaze, escalating the situation. As the fire rages, the question remains whether it will result in tragedy. It promises to be a dramatic week in The Dales, with tensions running high and secrets unraveling.
