It’s the day of court. Paddy, Dylan an emotional moment before heading out to face the day ahead. April’s a bundle of nerves as she prepares for her testimony, with Marlon encouraging her to be brave and use the day to tell the jurors the truth about Ray’s abuse.
As the trial begins, the defence and prosecution barristers argue their cases in front of the judge, jury, and spectators, and Bear is overwhelmed as he’s forced to relive Ray’s death and his experience at the farm. Soon Bear’s rattled when he hears how persuasively the prosecution are presenting their case.
April then testifies but struggles under cross-examination; leaving April devastated. Before long it’s Dylan who testifies for the defence, recounting how Bear saved his and Paddy’s lives from Ray. But will he cope under cross-examination? Afterwards, April’s distraught in the court corridor, worried she messed up her testimony, but Marlon tries to comfort her by praising her bravery.
Back in the courtroom, Simo takes the stand and Bear begins to spiral hearing Simo. After court adjourns, Zara explains the situation and left with no other choice, solicitor Zara suggests putting Bear on the stand the next day and Paddy reluctantly agrees… But will Bear be up to it?
