Plot[]
Det. Sgt. Crichton worries that Rita will crumble on the stand. Rita appears vindictive and is determined to see Alan go down. Gail goes back to the cafe as Ivy looks after the children but she refuses to look after Martin. Percy and Phyllis go to court to see Alan's trial. Alan pleads guilty to the charges of deception and actual bodily harm. Rita and Jenny are relieved that they won't have to give evidence as Alan has pleaded guilty. Mike shows Audrey round his new flat. She loves it and arranges to bring Alf to dinner. Martin has a hard time with Ivy in the house. Jenny is upset when Alan gets two years.
