Nail in the Coffin

Webb and Meadows' digging finally comes to its head when Chandler is arrested for the rape of Anne Merrick, and in the heat of the moment, tries to persuade a battered and bruised McAllister to give him an alibi. However, with the clock ticking to prove his innocence, Webb and Meadows believe they have discovered the final nail in the coffin to secure a conviction. McAllister decides to stand by her man, but at what cost? Meanwhile, an angry Stamp confronts Cryer and Simon Kitson when he is named as a paedophile in the local newspaper, leading to angry protests outside his home. He soon realises that some of friends still do not seem to believe that he is fully innocent of the allegations made.
