Victoria crumbles in despair after confronting Wendy, leaving Robert desperately at a loss to help her. Nicola, Marlon, and Jessie try and come up with an action plan, and a determined Nicola vows to start a campaign. Outside the court, remorseful Victoria blames herself for what happened with Lee, and a terrified Robert tries to comfort her. As Harriet and Will discuss their wasted afternoon, Will wishes they could be out and proud. A worried Vanessa fears for her sister, after Moira reveals where she went with Pete. Tracy is elated to think she has found the evidence that could prove Frank's innocence. Victoria breaks down in Diane's arms. Robert fights back frustrated tears, as distraught Aaron slams the door in his face. Aaron pushes Robert away as he tries to defend his actions. Tracy is frustrated at Vanessa's negativity. Vanessa is guilty for causing her sister more upset. Robert is desperate to make Aaron see sense. Aaron finally reaches out to his husband when he realises how scared he is. At the café, Marlon is certain they have hit on a solution as they try and rope an uncertain Jessie in to cover childcare. Will thinks it might be time to go public with Harriet, after getting advice from Dan. Aaron and Robert put on a happy front for Liv, but their smiles are masking their pain. Ignoring Vanessa's negativity, Tracy is determined not to let the fight for Frank's innocence go. As Jacob unpacks his things, he retrieves Maya's photo from the binbag and hides it in a drawer, not ready to fully let go yet.
