Tracy wakes up to her 30th birthday in prison. The Barlows try and buy her with cards and Claire’s petition, but it’s only her solicitor’s visit she’s interested in. Turning on the tears, Tracy tells her she needs to go to Charlie’s funeral and, falling for the waterworks, Jayne announces she’s going to get her bail. Tracy is confident but back in her cell her fellow inmates stress it’s not going to be as easy as she thinks.

Cilla’s still fuming about Chesney’s disappearance, claiming Fiz has brainwashed him to turn his back on his mother. Meanwhile, Cilla comes face to face with Yana for the first time. But after giving her former best friend a slap round the face.
