Irene (Lynne McGranger) has been fraught with nerves and anxiety in the run-up to her court date in the aftermath of attacking Tommy (Adam Sollis). She gets news from her lawyer which makes the situation worse – the date has been set for four weeks time, which gives them barely any time to prepare.

Bella (Courtney Miller) overhears Irene on the phone to her lawyer and is rattled. Irene does her best to reassure her, saying that giving a written statement or testifying via video link may help just as much as being there.
