Episode 6888 (6th June 2014)

"As Belle's trial begins, Sean decides it is pointless him attending as he will just make things worse for her; and Bernice tells Kerry they must stop relying on men and finish the salon themselves." (TV Times synopsis)

Plot
At the Dingles', Sam storms out when Cain complains about him making things worse for Belle. Sean barrels in, wanting to know where Belle is and realises something is wrong. Dom asks Sam what yesterday was all about and Sam insists that Belle knew nothing of his plans to take her away. At the court, Lisa is nervous as they wait in the corridor. She is relieved when the Defence Barrister thinks Belle will get off, but Cain's look suggests otherwise. Sean thinks it's pointless going to court as he'll make things worse, but Dan suggests he could be the one to save Belle. The trial gets underway as Sean is called to the stand. Bernice tells Kerry they need to sort the salon out themselves and not rely on men, but as soon as Bernice has gone, Kerry calls Andy. Sean is unable to help Belle's defense due to the angling of the questions. Ashley is concerned when Harriet reveals how badly the finance meeting went. Bernice is unimpressed when she arrives back to see Andy doing the work. Val decides to have a quiet word with Priya about her behaviour when she notes how attached she has become to David. Harriet wonders if she should leave the church before she is pushed out. Bernice covers her upset when Kerry teases her about having a crush on Andy. After she leaves, Andy returns to collect his phone and tells Bernice how amazing she is. Bernice gets rid of him quickly and breaks down crying. Sean leaves the court convinced he has sent Belle to prison as Dom looks on.
