After agreeing to work alongside his partner Ricky in
order to tackle the case sensibly, Brax is left
devastated after a meeting with his lawyer.
The lawyer explains
to Ricky and Brax that the prosecution's case is watertight and as they
have no evidence to prove that Brax didn't kill Dean, he is likely to be
convicted and subsequently face 20 years in prison.

Ricky supports Brax |
When his lawyer advises Brax to either accuse Ash in order to create
reasonable doubt, or to plead guilty and receive a lighter sentence,
Brax becomes angry and lashes out at him.
Later, Ricky advises
Brax to consider pleading guilty if he wants to be around for their son
while he is still a child. However, when Brax discusses the situation
with Ash, he advises against it.
After much reflection, Brax
realises that he has to do what is best for Ricky and his unborn son.
With a heavy heart, Brax calls his lawyer and asks him to do a deal - he
is going to plead guilty. Is Brax really willing to go to prison for a
crime he didn't commit?
