Plot
A nervous Andy tries to grovel to Bernice and there's a sense that she is warming slightly. At the christening, Donna is distracted by her phone beeping with yet another text from Ross. Bernice lays it in on the line to Andy saying they either do this properly as boyfriend and girlfriend or not at all. He agrees. Sean confides in Dan about Sam being in court, and Dan persuades him that Lisa and Zak should know. Alarmed by the series of messages, she decides to head off to meet Ross. Donna makes her excuses by claiming that she has been called into work. Lisa and Zak are alarmed by Sean's news and set off to confront Sam. On seeing Ross's bruised face, Donna's worries are heightened and she is panicked to then realise that Ross has hurt George. An anxious Donna tells Ross to keep his head down while she finds out how much damage they've done. Zak is determined to go to court with Sam and he reassures Lisa they'll get through it together. Jai is suspicious when he takes a call from Uncle Amit and Rishi is quick to change the subject. He's distracted however, when he realises a payment has not been made at the factory and transfers it from his personal account. Donna goes to the crime scene under the pretence of being on a shopping trip and is horrified to find out what Ross has done. Moira is pleased that James and Cain seem to be getting along. Zak and Lisa are relieved when Sam receives a six month suspended sentence and two hundred hours community service. A panicked Donna confronts Ross and tells him that it's touch and go if George is going to live. Ross is angry when she tries to pin it all on him and informs him she can't give him an alibi as she was at the church.
