2. Everyone’s got it in for Joe

It’s Lydia’s surprise party, but as the residents gather for the glamorous affair at Home Farm, it’s clear the air is thick with tension. Mainly because almost all of the guests want Joe dealt with.

Charity has her plan in mind after learning Joe spiked Noah and caused the death of Leyla, Amy and Suzy in the lake limo crash. And Ruby is pleased she has manipulated Charity into sorting out her Joe-shaped problem.

Meanwhile, Billy is brooding after finding out about Dawn and Joe, and Joe’s threats to Clemmie. He has confided all in Caleb who is as pleased as his wife is that he’s managed to find someone else to do his dirty work.

Others gathered at the party are no friends of Joe either, so is it really the right time to throw an event? Will Kim never learn that disaster always strikes at Home Farm on these sorts of occasions?!
