Charles received a mysterious phone call recently and started acting suspiciously. It was clear that something was getting to him.

Victor was shocked to see that Charles was now a vicar, explaining that he too was now a man of God.

Charles demanded that Victor stayed away from the village but later on he ignored Charles’ request and turned up.

Naomi immediately took a shine to him frustrating Charles who then revealed that Victor was a dangerous man who had done time for a gun robbery when he was younger.

Charles then told Victor that he must leave the village and leave his family alone, despite Victor claiming that he was now a changed man.
