Drama after drama! Just when the Dingle household thought things were settled, Charity Dingle drops another emotional bombshell.

Next week, viewers will witness Charity secretly getting a surrogate pregnancy for Sarah – without telling her husband, Mackenzie.

At first, Charity just wanted to help – an act of love.

But things get messy when Mack finds out through… a text message from the clinic.

His reaction leaves the whole village stunned: he smashes a glass, screams at Charity, and leaves the house in the pouring rain.

Charity cries, but doesn’t make excuses. “I’m just afraid you won’t understand,” she says. Mack replies, his voice choked up: “It’s not that you don’t understand, it’s that you don’t have the right to know.”

The climax of the episode: Charity arrives at the hospital alone, staring blankly at the ultrasound screen. The ultrasound machine picked up a tiny heartbeat – and at that moment, Mackenzie appeared in the doorway, her eyes filled with pain and anger.

Is there a way back to their marriage? Or will Charity lose everything because of an act of kindness?
