The past few months have been quite challenging for Ruby Fox-Miligan. She came home to find her husband Caleb busy packing up their son Nicky's belongings for the second time that Monday. It was heartbreaking for Ruby to see her son leaving the village with his boyfriend Suni, especially after discovering that Ruby was the one responsible for Ethan Anderson's death. Nicky had finally reached his breaking point with his parents' behavior and decided to leave.
Ruby couldn't help but feel upset with Caleb, as he always seemed disappointed in their son and never showed him any love. In this episode, Caleb's actions only confirmed Ruby's suspicions as he seemed to be trying to erase any trace of Nicky now that he was gone. However, Caleb explained to Ruby that this was not the case. He poignantly shared how seeing Nicky's possessions all the time was a constant reminder of how he had failed as a father.
Caleb's childhood was not an easy one. He was raised in the care system after his mother Faith Dingle gave birth to him while in prison. All he had from his mother was a photograph and his birth certificate. A flashback episode on Boxing Day 2022 shed light on Caleb's past, including his attempt to become part of the Dingle family by tracking down Cain. Unfortunately, Cain turned him away as he had just found out that Chas was pregnant. This was devastating for Caleb as he missed out on the chance of being adopted by a loving family just to get to know Cain.
It was also revealed that Caleb's father was Frank Tate, although he had never met him. His arrival in the village was motivated by his desire for revenge against Kim Tate for her role in Frank's death. It was a heartbreaking moment when Charles finally learned the truth about his son's involvement in the hit and run.
Caleb's life only started to turn around when he met Ruby. Their bond was unbreakable, and Ruby even gave up her relationship with her own family to be with him. In this episode, Caleb acknowledged that Ruby had been his lifeline and that he didn't know what love was until he met her. His words melted Ruby's heart, and she gave him a warm hug.
Despite their recent argument about Nicky leaving, Ruby and Caleb both agreed that they needed each other. They also felt that it was time for a change of scenery, away from the village. They decided that Bali would be the perfect place for a break.
Caleb had hoped that after their holiday, he could find Nicky and bring him back home. However, Ruby had a different perspective. She believed that their son was a grown man who could make his own decisions, including whether or when he wanted to visit them. Ruby wanted Caleb to understand that Nicky knew they loved him, and it was up to him to come back.
