David stares at a picture of Pat, lost in thought. Carol wants Tamwar to support Alice in court but he refuses to go. Kat emerges from No. 23. Bianca tells Kat she believes her.

David visits Pat鈥檚 grave with fresh flowers, noting the old ones were from Janine. David wishes Pat could impart some wisdom. He spots Ian hurrying into the church. At the hospital, a chemo patient in a wig comments Carol鈥檚 still got her hair and thinks she must have good genes. Uneasy, Bianca and Sonia escape on a tea run.

In court, Janine takes her place in the dock but Alice is absent. Janine鈥檚 QC questions David about the recorded confession, insinuating David was angry that Janine refused him a loan and faked the confession to extort money from her.

Carol storms from the court and slaps David, insisting he deliberately let Janine鈥檚 QC tear him apart.
