While Samson ultimately confessed his lies and Matty was released from prison, Moira has struggled to forgive the Dingle family for not standing by her son.

Earlier this week, Moira even snapped at Matty, telling him to “man-up” when her son admitted he was worried how Samson would cope in prison.

In Thursday’s (August 8) episode, Moira didn’t seem to remember rowing with Matty when he brought it up. She quickly apologised to Matty for being “cantankerous” but was later shown arguing with her husband Cain.

Moira accused Cain of not valuing her contributions to the household since her husband is “the big breadwinner”. She then took issue with Cain teaching Samson how to fight before he went to prison.

“Why don’t you just say, ‘You’re completely useless’?” Cain complained, with Moira firing back: “[Those were] your words, Cain.”

Cain only angered Moira further by suggesting she go see Dr Liam Cavanagh to “get on some pills”. Later, Matty was concerned when he found Moira sleeping on the couch in the middle of the day.

“I didn’t plan to [sleep] but I must have dozed off,” she admitted. “I’ve just had a few mad early starts this week, and I did leave half my lunch.”

Moira confided in Matty that she no longer feels like Cain is on her side. Matty offered to talk to Cain, but Moira urged him not to.

At the Woolpack, Matty and Cain had a frank discussion about Moira and agreed that it might be wise for her to see a doctor.

At the farm, Moira was shown taking a shot of alcohol and then bringing the rest of the bottle with her to continue drinking alone
