==Plot==
Part One: Moira leaves messages for Nate when he fails to arrive for work. Wendy is worried as she receives a letter calling her as a character witness for Meena. Gabby has asked Liv and Vinny to be godparents to Thomas. Kim isn't impressed with her choice. Faith tries to give Nate some tough love and encourages him to get his act together. Manpreet meets with Ethan in private so he can start prepping her for court. Kim receives a call from Hazel saying that Millie has a stomach bug so won't be attending the christening after all. She is convinced Hazel is lying but insists Gabby rearrange the christening until Millie is able to attend. Faith fails to get through to Nate and he heads to the pub again. She tries to get Cain to help her in talking sense into him but he just thinks she is interfering. Matty, Paddy and Eric encourage Vanessa to call Suzy and arrange a proper date. Ethan and Manpreet roleplay the court proceedings. Manpreet becomes emotional as Ethan's roleplay becomes personal, bringing up her false identity and accusing her of being a liar.
Part Two: Ethan apologises to Manpreet, explaining he was only trying to prepare her for what will happen in court. He makes her realise that Meena's defence barrister will be digging the dirt to try and make sure they can discredit her and Meena will also be supplying her defence with stories of her own about her. Manpreet realises she needs to be stronger and resumes the roleplay. Nate shares a few drinks with Noah at the pub. Gabby asks Arthur to be Thomas' other godfather. Arthur is thrilled. Vanessa sends a text to Suzy, spurred on by Matty and Eric. Suzy happens to appear behind her just as Vanessa sends the text. She arranges to meet Vanessa for dinner when she arrives back from a business trip in a few days. Noah tries his best to impress Chloe by ordering shots with Nate. When she is clearly not impressed, he walks out in a huff leaving Nate to share the drinks with Chloe instead. Manpreet is feeling more prepared following her roleplay session with Ethan but asks him not to say anything to Charles about her coaching session. Chloe decides to go back to Nate's for a takeaway. In confidence, Ethan explains to Charles that he has been trying to coach Manpreet for court. He worries that she's not strong enough to stand up to Meena's defence.
