Before their showdown, Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) is worried about Samson’s plans to head around Europe by car with his new friend Josh.
She hopes he will fail his driving test and that the second-hand car Sam gives him won’t be up to the trip.
However, Samson is thrilled when Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) gives his motor the seal of approval, and rolls up without his ‘L’ plates, and Josh announces that Samson passed his test.
Samson is annoyed by Lydia’s insincere congratulations. As the pair celebrate afterwards, Josh shows interest in the newly-married Amy Wyatt (Natalie Ann Jamieson).
Feeling dismissed by Sarah, he hits on Amy again. Struggling to cope with Josh’s incessant flirting, Amy leaves work early.
Matty shares some home truths with Josh. He tells Josh and Samson to leave the Hide, making Josh embarrassed.
Josh’s sense of humiliation grows, with him growing increasingly hostile towards Matty. After dead-naming and threatening Matty, he starts threatening him to give up the money in the Hide till.
The stand-off escalates until Josh shoves Samson into Matty.
And Matty inadvertently stabs Samson with the knife that he was holding.
With Samson bleeding out, Josh accuses Matty of coming at them with the knife.
Matty is horrified when Josh twists the narrative, making him look like the aggressor.
Matty fears he could be heading to jail next week, as he faces false allegations from a village newcomer.
What will the consequences be for Matty?
