==Plot==
Part One: Leyla finds Liam at the bridge where Leanna died. She is not allowed back into the courtroom after her outburst but promises to wait in the corridor. Liam insists Meena has to pay whatever the verdict. Meena asks Prison Officer Beeker to do something for her but warns him not to get caught. Belle overhears Kim requesting a prospective client list from Al before she commits any money to the wellness breaks pitch. She refuses to help Al when he apologises to her. Cain visits Marlon and snaps at Gail when she tries to encourage Marlon to speak proper sentences. Mary finds Rhona asleep at the kitchen table. Liam, Leyla, Manpreet and Charles wait around the Woolpack to get called for the jury's verdict. Leyla has to rush off on a work errand but promises Liam she will be at the court. Shortly afterwards, Manpreet receives the call to say the verdict is in.
Part Two: Al begs Belle to help him. Sam walks in as Belle begins to negotiate with him. Manpreet finds an emotional Carol in the toilets at the court. She laments that Nadine will never receive justice whatever the verdict. She angrily smashes the restroom mirror after Manpreet leaves. Cain and Faith are ecstatic when Marlon snaps back at Cain after he insults Faith at the hospital, managing to speak a full sentence. Belle agrees to help Al on one condition - a proper business partnership with a proper contract. Sam worries how Cain will take the news. Meena is found guilty of the murders of Leanna, Ben and Andrea. She is devastated and begins angrily lashing out at the Judge and the jury. Carol takes her opportunity to begin telling Meena exactly what she thinks of her but Meena only succeeds in goading her further with her retorts. As the Judge instructs Prison Officer Beeker to return Meena to the cells, Carol bolts over to Meena and attacks her with a shard of glass from the mirror she smashed earlier. Meena crumples to the floor. News reaches Chas, Liv and Wendy that Meena has been found guilty. They wonder where Leyla has got to. Back in court, Carol is dragged away and the Judge asks Liam to tend to Meena. As Liam hesitates, Manpreet goes to assist her. Suddenly, Meena springs into action and takes Manpreet hostage holding the piece of glass to Manpreet's throat.
Part Three: Meena now has the courtroom under siege, reasoning that now she's looking at a life sentence she may as well go down in history. Leyla finally arrives back at the pub and finds the verdict is in. Harriet interrupts, informing her that Meena has taken the courtroom under siege. Meena sees herself as standing up for wronged women everywhere. Belle and Al set out a plan for how their partnership will work. Armed police begin to convene at the courtroom. Meena instructs Charles to video her so Leyla can watch the recording back. She speaks to the camera, recalling Liam pouring her heart out to her months ago. She finally admits to killing Leanna and takes glee in knowing that it will torture Liam for the rest of his life. She recalls Leanna's final moments and taunts him with how terrified she was. Liam is distraught as he learns Leanna's death wasn't instant. Armed police burst into the courtroom and try to negotiate with Meena but she drags Manpreet down to the cells. 
Part Four: Meena tries to make a run for it but is horrified to learn that Prison Officer Beeker hasn't left the door unlocked for her as she had requested - she is trapped. Rhona wakes up and picks up a message from Cain telling her to get to the hospital fast. She frantically rushes off. Manpreet and Meena exchange words before their argument turns physical and Meena tries to attack Manpreet with the broken glass. The pair struggle and Manpreet manages to grapple the glass from Meena. Rhona is thrilled to arrive at the hospital and discover Marlon has spoken his first proper sentence. Manpreet assures Meena that she will not get the fame she desperately craves as people will soon forget her. Meena tries to goad Manpreet into killing her, wanting to see if Manpreet is capable. She reveals to Manpreet that she killed their father by injecting him with extra morphine and takes credit for Manpreet not making it back to see him in time. Manpreet lunges for her with the broken glass but comes to her senses just as the armed police catch up with them. Meena is dragged off screaming by the police.
