Cain undergoes his cancer surgery, and confronted with the reality of his catheter post-operation, he fakes pain to be kept in the hospital. When he does head home, with the operation going well, he picks up on tension with Aaron and Robert.

When Moira is forced to admit it was Robert who planted the identity documents that got her arrested, Cain wants revenge. Asking Sam for a favour, the pair attack Robert and tie him to a chair.

As Robert regains consciousness he sees Cain wielding a hammer, wanting Robert ‘to pay’, but what will he do to him? Elsewhere, Jacob fears his feud with Dr Todd has gone too far.

He feels guilty about how nasty things got, and in an attempt to move on he visits Todd. Offering her his condolences on the day of her father’s funeral, Todd accepts his apology.

Soon, Mary plays matchmaker and pushes Vanessa to ask out Dr. Todd, and the pair agree to a date. But Charity is left panicked that Todd will expose her baby lie, as Todd suggests to Jacob that she’s privy to a secret that could make his life hellish.

After some news about Todd’s father’s will, Vanessa decides they should just be friends. Todd needs money though, and a plan begins. Todd warns Charity she has definitive proof Charity and Ross are Leyla’s genetic parents and demands she pay her £10,000 to keep the secret.

Charity fears the worst, and panics further when she sees Todd and Vanessa kissing. Elsewhere, Bear and Mandy join the depot, but Jai’s words trigger Bear’s trauma from the farm.

Finally, Bob panics to discover he’s a player short for the men’s darts team. He’s soon relieved to hear Lewis has joined, claiming to have played a lot of darts in the past.

May 4 (UPI) — An oil tanker was struck late Sunday near the Strait of Hormuz, the second attack on a vessel in the Persian Gulf in about eight hours.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said in a statement that it received a report of a tanker being hit by unknown projectiles as the vessel was about 78 nautical miles north of Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, near the northern tip of Oman’s Musandam Peninsula by the Strait of Hormuz.

The attack occurred at about 11:40 p.m. local time, it said, adding that all crew were safe and there was no environmental impact from the strike.

The tanker was not identified.

The oil tanker was struck a little more than eight hours after a bulk carrier was attacked by “multiple small craft” in the same region.

The UKMTO said the unidentified bulk carrier was attacked Sunday afternoon about 11 nautical miles west of Sirik, Iran. All crew were reported safe.

The agency is advising vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz with caution.

The maritime security threat level in the strait remains critical as the United States is enforcing a blockade of Iranian ports in response to Iran restricting which vessels can transit the strait.

The attacks come as U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday vowed to “free” cargo ships trapped in the Persian Gulf since the U.S.-Israel war against Iran began on Feb. 28.

In his Truth Social post, Trump said Project Freedom would begin Monday with the goal of helping ships sailing under neutral flags navigate the strait. Few specifics on how the operation will work were given.

More than two dozen vessels have reportedly been attacked in the strait since the war began.
