Amelia catches April worrying about what will happen to Rhona, and is concerned when April gets on the wrong bus and admits she’s not going to school. Confident and determined April arrives at shocked Gus’s house to speak to him. Inside, she begs Gus to tell the police Rhona is innocent, but is caught on the back foot when she accidentally reveals Rhona’s pleading not guilty. Gus drops April back off outside Smithy, but is furious that Rhona has pleaded not guilty. He’s defensive when Rhona moves to see Ivy, and a scuffle with Marlon leads to Gus falling on the floor injured. There’s soon chaos as angry Gus rejects Marlon’s apology for knocking him over and upset April runs off.

Later, reluctant Rhona’s stunned when he offers her a compromise where both of them change their statements, and work towards not guilty verdicts. Soon suggesting he could give Rhona access to Ivy and cancel the house sale, Gus puts it all on the line for the sake of the kids, and leaves Rhona with a decision to make.

Chas reveals to her family the cause of her cancer is the faulty BRCA2 gene, and Cain, Caleb and Aaron are blindsided to learn there’s a high likelihood that they could have it too and are further rocked with the realisation that they could pass it on to their children.

Belle gets serious with Angel as the reality finally sets in. Belle soon opens up about what other children in the secure home might be like, and Angel’s fear grows. She worries she’ll face similar mental health difficulties to Belle. Coming down the stairs in Victoria Cottage, Jimmy discovers them both upset, and comforts Angel as he admonishes Belle, who flees distraught. Upset to have had her past brought up, Belle’s even more regretful when Tom reneges to the idea that he made her speak to Angelica. She’s grateful when he promises to protect her in future.
