Plot

Lewis takes a flower from a bouquet, and places it in a vase. He gets a notification that he has received an e-mail - it's a photo of him and Lorraine having sex. He deletes the email. The Morgans argue over whether Luke will be believed. Luke is furious that Andy wants him to withdraw his accusation. Luke tells him not to come to court. Helen is annoyed with Cindy. She makes comments about Cindy having two jobs. Finn asks Cindy to come into work on time as they have stock arriving. Finn is furious with Lewis. Tony is getting stones laid down on the driveway as a "security measure", so he can hear people walking up the driveway when he gets his new car. Geri tries to convince Tony to let Jacqui to stay longer. Izzy has taken a liking to Jacqui.

Lewis tells Finn that he is in debt, and borrowed £4,000 from Lorraine. He also reveals that he slept with Lorraine. Adam tries to convince Andy to help Luke by supporting him. Alex offends Geri over the tickets to the "Nudestock" event on 27th October. Finn angrily confronts Lewis. Finn worries that Lorraine could target The Loft. Mark is questioned first. He lies about the circumstances of the tackle that broke Mark's leg. Mr. Birchall asks why Luke and Mark's "friendship" rapidly deteriorated. Mark accuses Luke of making unwanted sexual advances. Ben invites Cindy out, but Helen wants her to work through her break because of the backlog. Mark names Steven and Kenny as witnesses to the supposed advances.

Mark lies about the events of 15th March. Luke gets overwhelmed and storms out of the courtroom. Finn tells Lorraine that her security guards are no longer required. Izzy tries to make amends with Finn and Lewis. They offer to let her try out as a DJ tonight. Finn says that he is taking charge of the club for now. Adam tries to comfort Luke. Helen feels ill and Cindy offers to look after the shop. Helen informs Cindy that she is unable to look after Holly. Helen tells her that she has to do her share of looking after her baby. Mr. Wilson cross-examines Mark. He confronts Mark over the events leading to the rape. Mark says that all three of them attacked Luke, contradicting Kenny's version of events.

Tony annoys the car salesman, Pete, by test-driving a load of cars. The other salesmen laugh at Pete. Mr. Wilson points out that Mark never went to the police despite having two witnesses. Alex is impressed by Tony's new car. Tony is horrified by Alex wanting to hold his event at the student halls. Lorraine's guards arrive at The Loft. Cindy hides Holly under the desk in The Loft office. Sue is optimistic about the cross-examination. Finn is furious to learn that Lorraine did not pass on the news. Taylor has seen a doorman dealing drugs and tells Lewis. Cindy makes an excuse to check on Holly. Lewis informs Finn what Taylor has seen. One of the guards hides ecstacy tablets in the office, not noticing Holly. Taylor is furious that Lewis is not doing anything about the deals. He storms off outside. The jacket falls from the table and the tablets fall out, which Holly grabs.
