How will he cope with his new normal?
Daniel is stunned when Justin pleads not guilty at his plea hearing and braces himself to break the news to Daisy who couldn’t face being there herself. Calling at the hospital, Daisy breaks the news to a shocked Ryan and Alya and he admits that he's scared witless at the thought of having to relive the whole nightmare in court.
When Alya assures him that she’ll be right by his side, Ryan admits that he loves her. How will she react?
Taking Crystal to see Ryan in the hospital, Daisy hopes she will boost his confidence. Thanking her for bringing Crystal in, Ryan admits that discussing gigs in Ibiza has given him something to focus on.
With Carla there for support, Ryan tells the surgeon he’s ready to look at his injuries, but as he stares at his face, the surgeon breaks the news that he is not healing as they had hoped and he needs a skin graft.
Heading into Ryan's room, Daisy and Carla discover he's missing. With his backpack gone, a search party is organised and Daisy and Carla find Ryan by the tram station clearly traumatised. And Daisy tells Daniel that she can’t bring herself to tell Ryan that Crystal wants nothing more to do with him.
Later, having been told that the skin graft was successful, Ryan is free to go home later today but when Ryan and Carla head to the canteen, he struggles when he sees a group of nurses giggling and can’t help wondering if they’re laughing at him.
And when a little girl runs into Ryan’s room chasing her ball and staring at his face, full of curiosity, Ryan tells Alya that he wants to be alone.
