Plot

Jack announces to Robert, Andy and Daz that they are going to the police to report the fire, and he takes Robert’s willingness as a sign he wasn’t involved. However, Robert later becomes nervous and confesses the truth to Jack. Despite Robert’s attempt to play the victim by telling what Andy did to Sarah and Jack, Jack drags his son off to the Kings’ office. Jack insists the Kings stop their dangerous tactics or he’ll go to the police. Matthew tells him there’s no way he’d see his own son sent down but Jack tells him Robert is no son of his and walks off, leaving Robert feeling thoroughly ashamed. Elsewhere, Nicola tells Simon her offer on a house has been accepted but Simon doesn’t take it well. He receives a call, claims it’s work-related, but Nicola becomes suspicious and finds several calls from Naomi when she checks his mobile.

Notable dialogue

Jack Sugden (angrily): "How dare you rake all that up just for your own defence?"
Robert Sugden: "Well, no one else is gonna defend me, are they? Bad boy Robert, just a waste of space!"
Jack Sugden: "Oh, save your self-pity. The only thing that matters to you is yourself. You crashed a car and let a poor innocent girl think it was her fault, you stole your brother's wife and then what did you do? You broke her heart by sleeping with Sadie King."
Robert Sugden: "I didn't..."
Jack Sugden: "Oh, don't try that one. Everything you touch, you ruin. And yes, maybe I do have more time for your brother than you. But let me tell you something, it's Andy who's the one that should be disowning you, not the other way around. After everything you've done to him, breaking his heart, stealing his wife, he still forgave you. Still could go down to the pub with you for a pint, thinking you were friends. So, yes, maybe you should accept it, I know I have. He'll always be the better man over you, Robert. Always. The only people you've got anything in common with is Tom King's lads than any of us."
Robert Sugden: "Dad..."
