Zak marches into the village in a mood and grows angrier when he discovers how many of the family participated in the court. When no Dingle will take him in Zak barges into the factory to speak with Lisa. He bellows his rights to anyone who’ll listen but is dumbstruck when Lisa explains that Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) called the Dingle court. After a private chat with his wife he realises just how much he has hurt Belle. Zak tries to apologise but Belle walks home alone and collapses in floods of tears back at the homestead. Lisa tells Belle that if she’s changed her mind they can reverse Zak’s banishment. Belle says no in spite of herself and goes off to bed. How long can Belle keep a wall between her and Zak?
