earlier this year following Moira’s affair with Caleb Milligan. However, this week’s episodes see Nate and Tracy rekindle their relationship,

culminating in a passionate reunion. The situation is complicated by Nate’s upcoming move to Shetland for a new job, which Tracy agrees to, planning to relocate with their daughter, Frankie.

Their plans are suddenly thrown into turmoil when Nate has a private meeting with his stepmother, Moira, who is grappling with her own marriage troubles with Cain Dingle. Caleb, who witnesses a tender moment between Nate and Moira, decides to inform Tracy about what

he saw. This revelation leaves Tracy heartbroken as she reevaluates her future with Nate.

Cain, already furious, confronts Nate with seething rage. Nate tries to explain the situation, but Cain’s anger escalates uncontrollably. In a fit of rage, Cain physically assaults Nate, landing a punch that leaves Nate bruised and battered. As Cain continues to lash out, an emotional Tracy intervenes, putting an end to the violence but deepening Nate’s misery.

Despite Nate’s insistence that nothing inappropriate occurred, Cain refuses to believe him and goes as far as to disown his son. Tracy’s frustration leads her to reverse her decision about moving to Shetland, which adds to Nate’s despair. Tracy later pleads with Nate to explain the situation to Frankie, who is devastated by the prospect of their dream move falling apart.

With Nate’s reputation in tatters and his future uncertain, the question remains: Will he be able to clear his name and mend the fractured relationships, or will he leave the village as a disgraced figure?
