It's judgement day for Max as his fate is about to be sealed. After contemplating Robbie's offer, Carol makes a decision.

Jane stares at a newspaper headline 鈥楲ucy Trial; Jury to Decide鈥�. She conceals a text message from Sharon; she announces it鈥檚 her one year anniversary and she鈥檚 filing for divorce, to Jane鈥檚 alarm. On the market, Stacey berates Donna and Pam for gossiping about the trial and accosts uneasy Jane, demanding to know why she didn鈥檛 come forward sooner to give Max an alibi. In prison, Marcus preps Max for the last day of open court. Jane meets Phil in the Arches; he reports the foreman of the jury will ensure a 鈥榥ot guilty鈥� verdict and wants her help to get Sharon back as promised.

Stacey visits Max in prison; Max swears he never touched Jane and doesn鈥檛 understand why she鈥檚 lying. At the Beales鈥�, Lauren鈥檚 frustrated Jane isn鈥檛 attending court and frets the jury might not believe her story. Jane promises things will go Max鈥檚 way and seeks out Sharon in the Albert. When Sharon鈥檚 immediately suspicious of Jane鈥檚 attempts to make her reconsider divorce, Jane admits tells her the truth. Later, Phil arrives home with anniversary flowers to find Jane waiting with Sharon, who鈥檚 fuming Phil could be so stupid as to pay off the foreman. Phil rounds on Jane who protests she鈥檚 delivered her side of the bargain - the only thing that will stop Sharon from filing for divorce is if Phil is honest.

Meanwhile, during closing speeches in court, the prosecution spins a story that Max killed Lucy in a violent rage and asks the jury to find him guilty. At Phil鈥檚 house, Phil wonders if Sharon really wants a divorce and explains he only paid off the jury so Jane would help him get Sharon back; he knows he should open up more. Sharon鈥檚 weary but can鈥檛 help being touched. A panicking Lauren phones Jane to report the jury have gone to deliberate. Jane steels herself and heads for court. When Stacey questions Jane鈥檚 story, Lauren insists she鈥檚 just trying to help. Abi gets upset when Ben hopes Max gets a life sentence - or it could be them in the dock next. Jane arrives as they鈥檙e called back into court and locks eyes with Max.

Everyone waits on tenterhooks鈥� but the foreman reports they haven鈥檛 reached a verdict. Jane bolts for the toilets and Sharon follows. Jane frets the foreman has no intention of doing what he promised. Sharon suggests if Max is found guilty it might not be a bad thing - if he gets off the police won鈥檛 stop until they find out the truth. While they wait for a verdict, Lauren worries about Max but Abi hopes he鈥檚 found guilty. Heading back into court, Lauren stops Jane and announces she鈥檚 telling the truth. Alarmed, Jane grabs Lauren and hisses they鈥檝e paid off the jury so Max will get off. Lauren鈥檚 stunned into silence. Unseen, Ian appears at the door to listens as the clerk asks the foreman for a verdict. The foreman says 鈥榞uilty鈥�. Ian slips away as the court explodes; Stacey and Carol shout for justice. Max suddenly vaults over the dock and bolts for the door. DS Bryant gives chase but Max floors him with a punch and runs for his life.

Preoccupied to spot Dean on Bridge Street, Mick snaps at Whitney for gossiping instead of working. Shirley鈥檚 worried to find him eyeing Blades and begs him to not to do anything 鈥� today of all days. Shirley drags him to the park to talk properly and asks if Linda went away because of the anniversary of the rape. Mick explains it was his idea - he thinks about ripping Dean limb from limb and doesn鈥檛 understand how Shirley can sit on the fence. Shirley wants to help but Mick realises Linda鈥檚 the only person he needs. Later, bag packed, Mick鈥檚 exiting the Vic when Linda suddenly arrives home from holiday with Nancy and Oliver.

Robbie gushes to an unenthusiastic Carol about houses in Milton Keynes but realises she doesn鈥檛 want to move. Carol insists Max needs her more and thinks Robbie can manage without her. Sonia and Tina find melancholy Robbie in the caf茅 with Sami; Tina thinks Max is a lost cause and Carol should concentrate on her own life. Robbie despairs that Carol鈥檚 pulled out of moving and without her he鈥檒l screw up again. Although exasperated that Robbie鈥檚 already bought a puppy 鈥榃ellard the 2nd鈥�, Sonia comforts he can handle anything.
