Her scheming husband Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) is uncomfortable when his co-conspirator Peter arrives at Home Farm and piles on more pressure for their Christmas Day plot.

A happy Kim heads off on a Christmas Eve ride, but it's not long before we see her horse wandering the fields alone, with Kim nowhere to be seen.

Will drives down a country road, and is concerned to spot Kim's horse, but no Kim. He's then alarmed to see a body, lying still in the field.

Will rushes over and finds an unconscious Kim. As he calls the emergency services, all thoughts of revenge dissolve in his mind as he realises just how much he loves his wife.

Needing to pull the plug on the following day's plans, Will attempts to relay his epiphany to Peter - but Peter has other ideas!

Has the mysterious third party, who is apparently orchestrating Operation: Destroy Kim, finally arrived?
