Dylan confesses in a letter before fleeing the village
After Paddy and Dylan were released on bail for their roles in covering up Ray’s murder, they returned home to a shocking discovery. Arthur Thomas had gone to the police station, prepared to lie about seeing Ray on the day he died in a bid to help their case.
Paddy immediately rushed to stop him. But thankfully Arthur backed out before doing anything. Even so, the damage had been done, and Paddy turned his anger on Mandy for encouraging the plan, leading to a heated row.
Dylan walked in on the argument and was clearly overwhelmed. Despite pleading with them to stop, he soon left again, unable to cope.
Later, he contacted April and revealed the drastic step he had taken.
“I posted a letter to the police saying it was me that killed Ray, and Paddy and Bear had nothing to do with it.”
April was left stunned as Dylan explained he was leaving for good, determined to take the consequences himself.
“What else can I do? I’ve ruined both their lives,” he said. “It’s killing me. I love you. Always. I’m sorry.”
Moments later, he hung up, picked up his bag and quietly slipped away into the night.
