Zak caught in caravan fire?
Zak is feeling under the weather and doses himself up in the caravan. Meanwhile, Kerry persuades Belle to leave her and Kyle alone but when Cain finds out he’s furious and whips Kyle away from her. Kerry turns to the pub and Charity to air her woes and a vengeful Charity spikes her drink and persuades her to trash Cain’s caravan. Kerry seems to have taken the bait and heads off on a mission unaware that a spaced out Zak might be fast asleep inside. Lisa finds the caravan on fire and panics to think that Zak is inside. Cain arrives just as Lisa is about to enter the caravan and a wall of flames!

Kerry takes Kyle out for a walk but as she gets to the footbridge she fears she’s going to pass out and calls out for Kyle to stay away from the water as she drops to the floor. At the café, Zak and Cain are surprised to see Kyle and soon jump to the conclusion that Kerry must’ve been drunk. Zak tells Cain it was Kerry who set fire to the caravan.
When Dan hears the news he goes looking for Kerry who is found on the verge of hypothermia. Later, Cain bans Kerry from seeing Kyle leaving Dan, Lisa and Moira fighting her corner but this is Cain we’re talking about and soon his fists are doing the talking…
