This week in Shieldinch...

Caitlin and her family wait with bated breath as her trial draws to a close.

Ellie is left heartbroken.

Jac is devastated when she discovers the truth about Joe.

Cameron lures Dylan even further into his vengeful plans for Eve.

Overwhelmed with guilt, Maggie fears her actions could see Caitlin found guilty of murder. Ellie tries to calm her mother: if she sticks to the plan Caitlin will hopefully walk free.

Caitlin's lawyer, Laura, does her best to cast reasonable doubt over Caitlin's guilt, implying Maggie could be the murderer. Although clearly uncomfortable with the legal tactics, Caitlin reluctantly goes along with it.

However, in a shocking turn of events, Maggie's testimony results in an emotional confession - she killed Joe.

Pushed further, Maggie dramatically tells the jury about how she was sexually abused as a child and how Joe’s predatory behaviour had to be stopped.

As The McLean Family anxiously await the jury's verdict, the family know that, whatever the outcome, life will never be the same again.

Elsewhere, Ellie left heartbroken when AJ announces their relationship is over. Tortured by doubts, Jac sneaks into the police station to illegally access the files on her brother. The truth hurts, leaving Jac devastated.

Desperate to escape his fussing mother, Stevie turns to Sonny to help on his road to recovery.

Dylan grows increasingly distant towards Eve, leaving her hurt and confused. Little does she realise Cameron is emotionally manipulating his brother and has murderous intentions towards her.

This week in Shieldinch...

The day of Caitlin's trial arrives and The McLean Family start to unravel.

A blinkered Jac refuses to listen to Lou about the extent of Joe's abuse.

Suzie and Bernie bond as they hold the fort at The Tall Ship.

Caitlin's lawyer Laura tries to allay her fears, but Caitlin seems determined to change her plea to guilty to save Maggie from taking the blame. Laura talks her around, but as the evidence against her mounts in court, Caitlin begins to crack.

Laura does her best to cast reasonable doubt over the prosecution’s case, picking apart the post-mortem results and throwing into question who dealt the killer blow to Joe.

Nicole takes the stand, but her testimony contradicts her police statement and she's quickly discredited as a reliable witness.

Next up is Ellie, whose nerves take over. The prosecution pull her apart on the stand and seeing her sister struggle, Caitlin's anger boils over. When Ruby fails to appear, Caitlin fears the worst - but there is another bombshell on the horizon: Ruby's father, Ash King.

Initially Ash is supportive, but after discovering Ruby had a child with her abuser, Joe, he shames Caitlin's parenting skills and admits their past relationship was volatile.

Meanwhile, Jac is optimistic of a guilty verdict. But her positivity sours as she hears details of how Joe groomed an underage Ruby. The tables turn again, when Ruby's testimony reveals that Caitlin has hit Joe. However Jac is crushed when Lou reveals the investigation into Joe has uncovered multiple underage victims.

At the Tall Ship, Suzie offers moral support to the McLeans. With all the family drama unfolding, Suzie tells Bernie she is not sure whether she has a place in Shieldinch anymore.
