Robert went home, got drunk, trashed their house, and fell into Rebecca’s arms. He immediately regretted spending the night with his ex, especially when Chas found out and demanded he tell Aaron.
At the prison, Robert was all ready to confess his sin, but realising how much Aaron needed Rob, Chas ended up covering for her son-in-law, and the secret stayed safe.
Now, Robert just has to keep it that way.
Rebecca has assured Robert the whole incident doesn’t exactly paint her in the best light so she’s keen to keep it under wraps as well, but with Aaron’s release date approaching it’s clear she might be changing her mind about that.

The get together soon takes its toll on Aaron and sees him fleeing the Woolpack in total panic, with Robert chasing after him, worried it’s because Rebecca’s spilled the beans.

Robert’s stunned as he discovers what Aaron went through – and feels even more guilty about his betrayal.
Will he come clean himself, determined to start afresh? Or will Rebecca decide to do that for him?
And if Aaron does find out the truth, can he ever forgive his other half?
