Maggie feels compromised keeping Ruby’s secret abortion from Caitlin. However, when Ruby collapses in the Oyster Café and is taken to the hospital, Maggie pleads with her to come clean before the doctors uncover the truth. A scared Ruby convinces Maggie to continue the cover-up, deleting her hospital files until she’s caught red-handed by Suzie.
Back at the hospital, with the doctors getting closer to the truth, Ruby blackmails Maggie – if she doesn’t stay quiet, she’ll tell her mother Maggie’s drinking again.

Under pressure, Maggie fears she has no option but to reveal all to Caitlin, knowing there will be serious repercussions.

Later, Kim learns Isobel has disappeared from the care home. A frantic search follows until she finds her mother safe in Shieldinch, leading Kim to make a decision to let Isobel live with her – much to Bob’s concern.
