Troubled Dylan is desperate to turn his life around, but he’s fallen in with villainous Ray. The dealer hired Dylan to loot Moira’s barn at Butlers, but Kyle caught him red-handed. A tussle ensued which resulted in Dylan getting stabbed in the leg.

Fearful of getting found out, Dylan has concealed his open wound from April. But it was only a matter of time before she discovered the truth.

This week, April arrives at the Cricket Pavilion to find Dylan in a bad way. He’s shivering and in terrible pain, but won’t go and see a doctor. Instead, April takes Dylan to vets surgery in search of something to help the infection spreading.

Paddy interrupts the pair and is horrified to realise what’s going on. The kind-hearted vet patches Dylan up and also offers him a bed for the night after learning he’s still sleeping rough. But how will Paddy explain himself when Marlon and Rhona turn up?

Dylan’s secret is outed

As Dylan settles into Paddy and Mandy’s place, Ray informs he has another job for him. Viewers then see Dylan is hiding a bag of drugs inside his backpack.  The lad is clearly uneasy at being under Ray’s control. And next morning while Paddy makes breakfast, Dylan ignores a text from his boss.

Over at The Woolpack, Paddy, Rhona and Marlon are in for a shock when they realise Dylan was the thug that Kyle attacked. Rhona wants to expose Dylan’s identity to Moira, but Paddy and Marlon manage to persuade her not to. Dylan is mortified to realise Paddy and Marlon know what he did, but is grateful for their help.

Meanwhile April is keen to hang out with Dylan. But he’s got work to do and makes his excuses before heading off on a secret drug drop-off.
