Janet, Lina and Det. Dylan are surprised when Virginia Gardiner, racked by guilt about her son Max, agrees to help the prosecution and provides them with a new statement.

Janet and Lina are still at loggerheads over young Max's guilt, and when Virginia crumbles during the committal in front of the formidable Judge Hansby, this already murky case is made even more complicated. Meanwhile, Lina realises it's finally time she and Andy came clean about their relationship.

When Jimmy Butcher scoops that Judge Rosenberg asked Julie to take the wrap for him on a driving offence, it starts a messy scandal that leads to Ben breaking up with Julie, and Rosenberg losing his job.

However, Ben is excited to be going to the Supreme Court when a mother who drugged and smothered her child has been released from hospital and found to be mentally fit to stand trial. But when Crown Prosecutor Tony Gillies advises he's already accepted a plea, Ben is furious, and goes straight to David, where his complaint falls on deaf ears.

Richard prosecutes a ridiculous arson case, while Tatum seeks welcome distraction from a boring wire tap case.
