==Plot==
Ashley has decided to attend the second day of the trial, but Laurel warns him to be sensitive. As Jerry is in the witness box, the judge warns him from speculating about Aaron's hold over Jackson and instructs the jury to strike his comments from the record. Afterwards, Hazel has a go at Jerry but Aaron tells her that he has a right to be there. Aaron's full of self-doubt when the defence play Jackson's video and Chas and Hazel are devastated when Adam is forced to admit that Aaron confessed he killed Jackson. Chas feels bitter and worries about her son, while Aaron sits alone in his room, re-watching Jackson's video. Later, visiting Ashley at the church, Aaron gets angry as he questions Ashley over what he thinks about his actions and crumples in despair, feeling tormented. Meanwhile, Ella makes snide remarks and tries to get the upper hand with Katie, but is thrown when Katie tells her that a grown woman should know better. Declan is unconvinced when Katie insists that she's fine about Ella laying into her. He confronts Ella, telling her to leave Katie alone or he'll tell Mia the truth about her and Adam. Katie is unimpressed when Declan tells her that he's sorted Ella but can't lie to Mia and she tells him she won't wait forever. Elsewhere, Jimmy tells Carl about Scarlett's money trouble and they agree to pay her back with interest. In the pub, Scarlett gets angry when she realises Carl knows and walks out.
