The consequences of Chas forcing Charity to admit the truth quickly spread, and the person most hurt at this time is Mackenzie Boyd.

Already suspicious of Charity’s strange attitude, Mackenzie was stunned when she heard that Ross Barton was the father of the baby.

The scene exploded with drama when Mackenzie threw the chair, shouting: “How dare you hide it from me? I have trusted you completely all these years!”

Charity collapsed, tears streaming down her face. She tried to hold Mackenzie’s hand, choking: “I’m afraid of losing you… I don’t dare face the truth.”

But Mackenzie brushed it off, her face red with anger: “You not only lost me, you lost everyone’s trust.” In that moment, the entire Woolpack fell silent. Viewers could clearly feel Charity’s heart breaking – not only because she was discovered, but also because the man she loved turned his back and walked away right before her eyes.

The shot shows Charity’s eyes, staring blankly at Mackenzie as she leaves the bar in anger. She puts her head down on the table, her sobs blending with the whispers around her. Some pity her, others scorn her, but all of it only makes her feel more oppressed. For Charity, the truth is more than a bitter confession – it is a storm that has robbed her of her love, her honor, and the rare peace she once had.
