With her charged moment with Craig still playing on her mind, an anxious Lydia snaps at her boss Kim Tate in Home Farm. Lydia then confesses to Kim about the passionate encounter with Craig.
It's not long before Lydia decides to quit her job at Craig's company and hands in her resignation. However, she hesitates when he shares how much their recent connection has meant to him and backtracks on her resignation.
The cleaner is concerned if she's made the right decision, but soon Craig reveals his true feelings for Lydia and she's terrified when he starts to force himself on her.
Traumatised after being raped by Craig, Lydia is unable to process what has just happened to her and Craig drives a devastated Lydia home.
After making an excuse, Lydia bolts upstairs and rejects a call from Craig. Lydia silently breaks down in the shower and makes the life-changing decision to hide the clothes she was wearing when she was raped and keep her trauma a secret.
Elsewhere, Caleb is well and truly welcomed into the Dingle dynasty when he drinks from the Dingle welly. Later that evening, a successful family gathering draws to a close and Chas is happy to see her brothers working together when they set about cleaning up.
