Meanwhile over at Home Farm, Bernice gives Will a hopeful smile as he feels the pressure to make his decision between her and Kim.

Later Kim has a surprise for Will – and she leads him to Malone’s grave to break the news.

Will is alarmed to find it freshly dug up and fears Kim could be planning something horrifying for him.

But instead she reveals that she removed the corpse so that Will no longer feels tethered to her – he can decide whether he stays or goes.

Will is touched by the gesture – and immediately makes his decision by proposing to Kim.
