He puts the pesticide container into the boot of his car when Charity is inside, revealing that he was involved in the poisoning. At the cottage, he begins acting suspiciously and takes Charity's phone and smashes it in the woods, and calls Megan to tell her that he believes her about Charity's abortion.

When Megan begs him to come home, he darkly tells her everything is going to be alright, but his unhinged temperament insinuates that he is going to kill Charity.
