At the tube station, Jay鈥檚 met by newspaper headlines 鈥楶ure Evil: Youths charged in Trott murder鈥�. The Square鈥檚 residents watch in disgust as Jay wanders through the market. Spotting an angry crowd gathering, Billy hauls Jay into Butcher鈥檚 Joints and agrees he can stay with him. Despite Jay鈥檚 insistence that he told the truth on Ben鈥檚 request, Phil insists Jay change his statement. Jay refuses and Phil throws him out. Jay flees on seeing Andrew, and seeks solace in the allotments only to meet an apoplectic Patrick. Patrick calms as Jay explains he was protecting Ben and worries that he鈥檚 鈥減ure evil鈥�. Patrick reassures him he鈥檚 not alone. Later, Billy regrets that Jay can鈥檛 stay - Lola and Lexi come first. Jay pleads that he forgave Billy after he let Jase die but Billy turns his back on him, in tears. Later, Jay sits forlornly at the war memorial, traces his carving 鈥楻IP Jason Dyer鈥� and cries, utterly alone.

Roxy and Shirley are interviewed by Crisp; Roxy lies about seeing Phil with Ben the night of Heather鈥檚 murder. Phil refuses Ritchie鈥檚 advice that Ben pleads diminished responsibility. Shirley finds Phil curled on Ben鈥檚 bed, clutching his shirt.

Jack invites Sharon for a drink; Sharon hints she鈥檒l be leaving soon. Lucy hides her exam results. Sharon soothes a distraught Ian that he couldn鈥檛 have known about Ben; he snaps and refuses to see a doctor. Lucy thinks Ian doesn鈥檛 need her.
