Summary[]
Keegan protests his innocence to the police but learns the evidence is stacked against him, and he even fails to get Jack on his side. Iqra is shocked to see Ash's calculating side and questions whether she really knows her girlfriend at all. Whitney tells Sonia she is convinced she is going to prison, Gray issues Michaela with a warning when she tries to see his client and Kush is torn when Tommy makes him promise to keep his secret.

Keegan is handcuffed and taken to the police station. Tiffany sprints to Number 27 and sobs into Jack's arms. An unconscious Hari is taken to the bedroom by Ash and Vinny. Iqra tries to force them to take him to the hospital but Ash refuses to let him go in case he says anything, instead assessing him herself. Michaela heads to the Vic to oust Whitney, but Gray admonishes and removes her before she can do more harm. Linda suggests that Sharon goes on holiday with Phil. Shirley admits to Mick she cannot face Phil as she does not know what to say to him. Mick encourages her to go and talk to him. PC Waters informs Ash of a report of drugs on the premises. She claims to have no knowledge on the matter and insists no one else is in the flat. Tommy tells Kush that he is laughed at and called names at school. Kush wants to tell Jean but makes a promise to Tommy that he will not tell anyone. Tiffany relays the events leading up to Keegan's arrest to Jack, Karen and Mitch. Jack is certain Keegan has just been caught up in the matter, but agrees to go to the station to see what is going on. Once there, DI Thompson gives Jack his version of events. He claims Keegan lunged at him and is adamant he threw the brick and then resisted arrest. Sonia is furious with Michaela for what she has done but Whitney defends her and then makes it clear there is no happy end for her. Jack watches the bodycam footage from Keegan's arrest but cannot find any evidence that Keegan threw the brick. DI Thompson mentions one of the bodycams were broken in the scuffle and the tech team are trying to retrieve footage from it. Ash gives Hari the money Vinny raised from entry fees in exchange for his silence. Keegan is shown the bodycam footage during his interview. He insists the angle distorts the true events. Ash starts to realise that the way her family deals with things is not normal. Shirley visits Phil and they catch-up. Phil mentions needing to win Sharon back, so Shirley informs him that the Vic is going up for sale. Jack tells Keegan he is being released on bail. Keegan is adamant DI Thompson used race to arrest him but Jack refutes his claims. Three men in suits turn up outside flat 23A. Iqra's behaviour around Ash changes. She tells her that she saw a different side to her and it reminded her of Suki. Ash asks her not to make her choose between her and her family. Keegan returns to the Square. Tiffany tries to keep him out of the flat but is unable to, so admits they have been caught out subletting and are now homeless. |
