Dot
is being trialled for the murder of her son Nick after she handed herself into the police following his death in February.
As
the trial continues, a nervous Charlie prepares to
give evidence, and is supported by his wife Ronnie, who surprises
everyone by making an appearance in court.
With emotions running
high, Dot's loved ones are all relieved to hear that the missing witness
who sold her the drugs still hasn't been found, but the trial soon
takes an unexpected turn.

Later, as Charlie gives evidence, a distraught Dot becomes unable to
cope with what she is hearing and interrupts, causing the proceedings to
come to a halt.
After Dot reminds the judge it's her on trial
and not Nick, she is reminded that she must remain silent as she has
decided not to give evidence.
Knowing that she can still choose
to give her side of the story, a brave Dot decides to take to the
witness box. However, it soon becomes clear that this was the wrong
decision when the prosecution turn Dot's own evidence against her,
leaving her future more uncertain than ever.

As the final day of Dot's trial approaches, a worried Charlie and Fatboy
come to blows after throwing accusations at each other about why Dot is
in the mess she is in.
Charlie then decides to take matters
into his own hands by visiting Keeble and telling her that he murdered
Nick, but his plan backfires when she quickly calls his bluff.
As
Dot's friends and family wait for the verdict, Charlie reminds everyone
they need to be strong for Dot. It's not long before they're called
into court, but will Dot be found guilty or not guilty of murdering her
son?
