He tells her he’s bought them a house miles away from the village.
Rhona’s horrified and an argument soon breaks out during which Pierce pushes Rhona to the floor.

After the attack a distraught Rhona lies on the floor unable to quite comprehend what has just happened to her.
But Pierce seems to think he knows what happened – and manipulates the situation telling his new wife she was asking for it.
As he tells her they need to get back to their guests, Rhona is frozen to the spot and unsure what her next move should be.
While the audience will all be shouting “leave him”, will she have the strength to do it? And who does she have left to turn to now?
