George and Emma wait for his solicitor outside the courtroom at Felpersham Crown Court. George groans when he spots Lilian and Adam arriving. The solicitor explains the proceedings, but George is shocked when he hears that Fallon鈥檚 going to read her own Victim Personal Statement. Emma鈥檚 surprised when Susan appears and asks her to go, but Susan explains that they shouldn鈥檛 face this day alone. George is her grandson and Emma鈥檚 her daughter, so she鈥檚 staying.

When it鈥檚 time to go in scared George thanks Emma for coming with him and asks Susan to look after Emma. Tearful Susan promises she will.

Fallon reads her statement, outlining how traumatic it鈥檚 been. George didn鈥檛 rescue her because he cared, he did it because he knew it was his fault.

When the court adjourns for lunch Fallon approaches Emma, who says it must have been really difficult for Fallon. Fallon reckons it can鈥檛 have been easy for Emma hearing it either. She hopes that Emma finds today manageable. Emma says how sorry George is and Fallon says she saw it in his face, but what happened still happened.

George鈥檚 barrister puts George鈥檚 case, but in the end the judge passes his sentence: one year for the charge of dangerous driving and two years for perverting the course of justice, to be served concurrently. Susan comforts distraught Emma. George is equally upset when he discovers from his solicitor that he鈥檚 going to an adult prison. But he asks her to tell Emma that he was ok about it, before George is left alone in the cell.
