5548: Ty finds Rachel's ring

Dan confirms Libby’s suspicions about why he hasn’t been able to fully commit to their relationship, while Lucas waits on the sidelines for an opening. Dan decides to act decisively and put his hang-ups behind him, but Libby takes this as further proof that he sees her only as a trophy to fight over with Lucas, and angrily rejects his gesture.

Donna is trying to pretend everything with her family life is fine. She covers up the fact her father has abandoned her and even lashes out at Elle and Rebecca when they offer support. Rebecca takes the lead, reaching out to Donna in a way that Donna can accept without feeling shamed or threatened. Donna’s pain over being abandoned is still strong, but at least now she knows she’s not alone.

Rachel is frantic to find the ring that signifies her final tie to Angus. Bridget joins in the search and the two bond over their love lives as they dismantle a cake, fearing the ring was baked inside. But it’s Ty who discovers the ring - irreparably damaged – and he fears Rachel’s reaction.
