Wednesday 21 October
It's Jake's last day before his parole hearing and, fearful that he may lose his freedom, he apologises to Loretta for the way he reacted to seeing Charlie in the park. She quickly forgives him but when he then asks her out for a drink she's reticent to oblige. Jake finds Malachy and convinces him to go for a drink with him at The Loft. Cheryl joins them and Jake is enjoying the normality of the afternoon. Things are going well until Calvin arrives and tells Cheryl just who Jake is and what he's done. Having none of it, Malachy insists they continue their drink at The Dog. Again, things are going well but this time it's Kris who attacks Malachy for hanging out with Jake. Jake is sore that Loretta is there to witness it so does the decent thing and leaves before Malachy has to make a choice. Loretta later drops by to apologise for not supporting him but they can't be seen together anymore.

Archie is really struggling to deal with Zoe being in prison and when Mike accosts him in the village, matters aren't made easier. Feeling sorry for his former friend, Kris tries to talk to Archie but finds the fact that he thinks Lydia might be responsible for Sarah's death difficult to believe. Mike runs into Lydia in the village and she is obviously still an emotional wreck. He invites her to come and stay for a while, at least until the court case is over. Back in Halls, everyone's going insane listening to Archie's conspiracy theories and matters come to a head when Archie berates Charlotte for standing by Lydia. Archie realises that his fury will get him nowhere and goes to see Lydia who eventually opens up, revealing that there is a possibility that Sarah may have killed herself after all. Archie is determined to get the truth out and he rushes to tell Mike that even Lydia believes Sarah might have been suicidal after all…
