Darren spends the day with Frankie, but she still doesn’t want to tell the police about JJ’s abuse. Frankie explains to Darren why she thought Jack might attack her. As Frankie opens up more, all of her behaviour since she arrived in the village starts to make sense.

Darren goes to meet Nancy and Morgan in the park. He is conflicted as he doesn’t want to break Frankie’s confidence. Darren tells Nancy he can’t see her again before the trial as he needs to support Frankie. Nancy is devastated.

At the Osbornes’, Frankie reminds Suzanne that she told her when she was nine years old that JJ was abusing her. Frankie reads Suzanne excerpts from her diary on her phone. She begs her mum to believe her.

Meanwhile, Jeremy visits Martha at the nursing home, where she begs him to abandon his revenge against Sienna, but he has more sinister plans and leaves her incapacitated.

At the potting shed, Leela is unnerved when Jeremy overreacts to Daniel damaging his plants. Jeremy confides in Leela that the plants hold meaning, as he lost his children 40 years ago and it is their anniversary.

Elsewhere, at the hospital, Zoe and Prince have been to her baby scan. Dilly is hurt when she sees them and plans to blow them up to the McQueens.
