Home and Away, Brax has some tough decisions to make as he finally faces up to reality and contemplates a life in jail.

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?
