Part One: Leyla panics when Liam goes missing ahead of Meena's sentencing. It turns out he has just gone to the café however. Paddy gets Marlon involved via video call in an Easter egg hunt with April. Jacob, Charles and Leyla decide to do something special for Liam to take his mind away from the sentencing. Lydia is concerned about Samson and decides it’s time that Sam give him the 'chat'. April's final clue in the easter egg hunt leads her to Marlon at the hospital. Rhona is grateful to Paddy, witnessing Marlon at his happiest since the stroke. Chas tries to warn Belle off working with Al but she is not interested. Noah gets an idea when he hears Chloe raving about listening to CJ Bessie. Cain tells Liam that some of the villagers are planning something to take his mind off Meena's sentencing and encourages him to visit the allotment. Meena is disappointed as she arrives at her sentencing and finds nobody has turned up.
Part Two: Sarah warns Noah from getting too attached to Chloe again. Rhona agrees to raise the subject of when Marlon can return home with the consultant tomorrow. Chas warns Al off Belle when she thinks she sees Al looking at her with more interest than just her business ideas. Liam arrives at the allotment after everyone has left. Jacob finds him there. He has planted a remembrance tree for Leanna, Ben and Andrea - a wild lilac. Meena attends her sentencing. The Judge tells her he has witnessed no remorse from her. Manpreet arrives just in time to witness her sister being sentenced to life imprisonment with a twenty-five year tariff for each of the murders of Leanna, Andrea and Ben. Meena is to spend the rest of her life in custody without parole. Meena is frantic and begins struggling with the guard as she is led away. She catches sight of Manpreet and pleads with her to do something but Manpreet ignores Meena as her cries echo around the courtroom. Liam decides it's time that he and Jacob make peace with their circumstances before they are consumed with their pain and grief. An isolated Meena bangs on her cell door and sobs to herself as no-one pays her any attention.
