[Son of Cain]

was rhona granted full custody of ivy

I do not think so, surely the courts and social services would have to come to a decision about that.
Will Rhona have to give up working at the vets to look after Ivy? If so how will they manage for money? Marlon cannot earn much at The Woolpack. He works in a pub whose main trade should be tourists, but we hardly ever see any in there. There really cannot be enough meal trade to justify a full time chef.
