At the hospital, Kit finds support with Bernie by talking about stories of his childhood.

Later at home, Brody calls and tells Kit he needs him more than ever and to keep fighting as Kit hugs him tight.

When Bethany and Todd visit Sarah, she tells them she understands Kit’s decision not to help her, and Todd blurts out that Kit’s got breast cancer.

As Sarah reels in shock, Bethany’s horrified and begs her mum to let Gary carry the can for Theo’s murder, pointing out that she needs her, Kit needs her, and Harry needs her. Torn, what will Sarah do?

Meanwhile, a stressed Gary tells Maria that he’s been given a date for his hearing and Jake and Liam get upset when he tells them that he might be sent to prison.

Soon, Gary takes a call from the school informing him that Jake’s been suspended for fighting and later in the flat, Jake rounds on Gary for risking his freedom for Sarah and tells him it’s obvious he doesn’t care about him, Liam or Maria.

With Gary and Maria having gone to the pub, Jake packs his rucksack and heads out.

Having discovered Jake’s bed untouched, Gary calls Izzy and is shocked when she reveals that Jake stayed at hers and made it clear he doesn’t want to stay with him anymore. When Izzy calls at Victoria Court for the rest of Jakes’s things, Gary is deeply upset and meets up with Jake in the café, begging him to come home. But Jake sticks to his guns and points out that he put Sarah before his family, and for that reason, he won’t be moving back any time soon.

Meanwhile, Maria assures Gary that Sarah won’t let him down, he won’t be sent to prison and Jake will be back before he knows it. And Gary hopes she’s right. At the trial, the prosecution barrister questions Gary.

Surveying her prison cell, Sarah worries it might be her home for many years and in court, the prosecution barrister tells the jury how Sarah was so angered by Theo’s treatment of Todd that she took the law into her own hands and killed him.

When Lisa and Danielle take the witness stand, the trial takes a devastating turn for Sarah.
