Nancy and Darren have a heated argument. Ella tells Mandy about what she experienced whilst dealing. She tells Mandy about the dealers wanting her to smuggle drugs inside her. Darren apologises to Nancy, he exploded at her due to the stress. He is worried about Charlie, and Nancy is too. Darren has had confidence after talking to James, but Nancy says that nothing will be OK ever again. Peri is still shocked over the events of New Years. Sid is still upset over Jordan, he remembers when Jordan took him to a Green Day concert.
Ella tells Mandy about her and Charlie hiding in The Hutch, and Jordan finding them. She remembers Charlie stabbing Jordan. She then remembers fatally stabbing Jordan in the back but doesn't say. She lies to Mandy that Charlie killed him. Mercedes has installed CCTV in the pub. Theresa tells Mercedes that George and John Paul have gone on holiday. She overhears Mercedes telling Sylver about the CCTV password. Out of earshot, Theresa calls Seth about their problem. James tells Peri that Juliet is facing a seven-year prison sentence. James offers to let Peri join in on his video call to Juliet. Mandy points out that Becca and Justin were not the best parents. She is horrified that Charlie helped Juliet blackmail Ella. Ella says that Charlie is not violent, she killed Jordan. Mandy is speechless. Theresa tells Seth about the CCTV, Seth realises that they can know too as Theresa knows the password. Mandy is in shock and Ella goes to get her a drink. Sid wants to confess to the police but Ste says that there is no point. Ste thinks that they should create a memorial shrine for Jordan.
Peri talks to Juliet over video call. Juliet says that she is not innocent and now will pay the price. She is hoping that they will be lenient as she is co-operating. Peri says that it might not happen, and she will stay with her no matter what. Juliet asks after Sid, Peri says that he is not good. Juliet says that if she goes to prison, she wants Peri to make sure that he is OK. Ella returns to find that Mandy has gone. Mandy returns to the flat and turns up the radio before screaming and bursting into tears. Verity visits Darren and Nancy. Nancy thinks that the stabbing was self-defence. Verity tells her that Jordan's fatal stab wound was in his back, and therefore Charlie's chances are not looking good. Mandy calls Darren. Sid gets emotional over the memorial to Jordan. They toast to Jordan. Mandy returns and Ella asks if Mandy has called the police. Nancy informs Charlie that he will be charged with Jordan's murder. Mandy tells Ella that nobody will know that she killed Jordan. Charlie has made his decision, and now he will have to live with it.
