Plot[]
Part One: Gail and the Platts are overjoyed when the jury returns a verdict of "not guilty". As the family celebrates, Tina feels let down by the justice system and yells at the court. Jason and Deirdre try to calm her down. Carla is arrested for assault, being told it's procedure. Izzy's annoyed that Owen has found out where she is. Gary tries to intervene but shuts up when Owen reveals that he is Izzy's dad. Deirdre fears for Tracy's safety once news of the verdict reaches her fellow inmates. Izzy is furious when Owen tells her he's tried to get her old job back at Freshco and sends him packing. As Gail leaves the court, the press surrounds her and Tina yells abuse. DS Carr and DC Glynn visit Tracy and tell her that Gail was found not guilty. She's outraged when they refuse to keep their part of the bargain and relocate her to an open prison. Gail arrives back on the street and is shocked at the state of Underworld. She asks Graeme to take down a poster proclaiming her innocence as there's nothing to celebrate in Joe being dead. Lyn and another prisoner corner Tracy and give her a vicious beating.
Part Two: Chesney asks John to lend him £150 for a holiday with some friends after his exams. John agrees to think about it. Ken and Deirdre dash to the hospital when they receive a call to say Tracy's injured. Carla is released on bail. Eileen welcomes Gail back and advises her to give Tina some space to come round in her own time. Trevor tells the lads that he's pulling out of the World Cup trip to look after Carla. They all find excuses to cry off as well and worry about telling Trevor. Ken and Deirdre find Tracy's in a bad way. She admits lying about Gail because she wanted to see more of Amy. Deirdre, perplexed, asks why Gail should suffer when she's done nothing wrong. When she realises just how low Tracy has sunk and when she calls Gail a 'dope', Deirdre is disgusted and walks out on her daughter. Gail approaches Tina when she sees her out of the window. Tina makes it quite clear that the verdict does not change her opinion and they will never be friends. Nick calls on Carla to try to get her to consider the business. Trevor throws him out of her flat. Deirdre runs over to apologise to Gail for Tracy's behaviour. Gail's incensed to think that the Barlows knew that Tracy was lying but did not stop her and sends her packing.
