Stacey and Mo burst into the police station demanding to see Sean. Back in the holding room Sean is clearly agitated and demands to know why he’s just sitting there. He demands that the officer holding watch ask him something, anything. Sean wonders what the point of him just sitting there is. The door opens, and the skinny man walks into the room and introduces himself as Alan Simon. Sean wonders who he is. Alan tells him he’s just about the only friend he has in there. Sean realizes he’s the duty brief and tells him he’s been in there too long already. Alan tells him to ditch the attitude, and he’ll be in there longer if he doesn’t listen to him.

At the hospital, Yolande is going over the argument that Sean had with Yolande and Patrick. She wonders why he’s done this. DI Carson asks Yolande if she thinks it could have been racially motivated. Yolande believes it’s her fault because she told Roxy and Ronnie about Sean stealing the keg of beer. Denise tries to comfort her and tell her it wasn’t her fault. DI Carson tells her this is not her fault. Yolande feels it is her fault. She told Charlie as well and wonders if she’d just kept her mouth shut.

Charlie pulls up in front of the house, and Dot asks him how Patrick is and Yolande. Dot wants to go to the hospital, and Charlie offers but Dot turns him down. Charlie pleads with her and tells her he feels horrible for what Sean’s done.

The DI comes out, and Stacey wonders what is happening. Mo tells him they want to see him. The DI tells them no. He tells them to go. Stacey goes mad when Mo tries to get her to leave. The DI tells her if she keeps that up she’ll see him as she’ll be in the cell next to him. He tells the officer to get them out of there. Mo gives Stacey a look that could kill.

DI Carson starts the interview. Sean tells her she is making a mistake. She wonders why he was hiding them. He said one minute he’s walking along and the next minute he’s public enemy number one. DI Carson wonders what he was doing hiding behind the boozer then. She asks him what he did today. His attorney advises Sean that he has the right not to answer any of the questions. Sean wonders from when she wants him to start. He tells her that he went to see his girlfriend. She wonders why. He says it was for a shower. She asks him what he did after that. He says the same old same old. She asks if the same old involves him going to the Minute Mart. She tells him that he was seen at the scene. He says you must have asked the market traders if they saw him and they replied: “yea we saw him, he’s always about.” So he says you’ve got nothing. He says besides that there is CCTV in the shop so why doesn’t she just check that. She pauses and then tells him that there is indeed CCTV but someone has taken the tape. Sean says “Is that right?” She says ‘yes.”

Stacey rushes at Charlie. Dot tells her that she is praying for Sean too. Stacey ask Charlie why he wasn’t up at the nick with her and Nan supporting Sean. Charlie tells her not now. She yells at Charlie that they should be standing shoulder to shoulder defending Sean right now. Charlie asks her if she thinks they just picked his name out of a hat? Stacey says that they did what everyone else around here is doing. Doesn’t matter about the facts, they just get up the nearest likely face. Charlie tells her he’s got to get to the hospital. Stacey asks him if he shouldn’t be thinking of his family right now. Dot says “It’s Yolande we’re thinking of Stacey.” Stacey tells Dot it’s not going to help her right not if the police have the wrong man. Charlie tells her he thinks they’ve got the right man. He tells her they didn’t just make this up. They have witnesses who saw him. Stacey is startled by this fact. Charlie goes on to say that she really can’t think they just picked a stone, tossed it and came up with Sean?

DI Carson tells him that something in the witness statements is puzzling her. Sean says the whole thing should if she has any sense. She asks if he’s been at home at all today? Sean is puzzled. She asks him if he returned home at all after he left in the morning. She doesn’t understand why he wouldn’t remember as he seems to remember everything else about today. Shouldn’t be too hard to work out she says. Sean says “So what’s the idea? Going to turn the house over looking for a big stick?” His attorney advises him again that he has the option to answer no comment. DI Carson says he seems to have a hard time answering the question. He tells her that he didn’t go home. She wonders if he wouldn’t have had time to go home to change clothes? She says a witness says he was wearing blue jeans and a light colored shirt. She wonders when he had the time to change. He says the witness is wrong. She says she can understand a witness getting it a bit mixed up, but she can’t understand how someone could be so specific about him wearing a light colored shirt when he wasn’t. He answers “no comment.”

The doorbell rings at Pat’s, and Chelsea goes to answer the door. Stacey pushes in and begins to yell at her. “It wasn’t the police at all! YOU set Sean up for this!” Chelsea yells at her “And why would I do something like that?” Stacey tells her she and everyone else knows it was Chelsea who told the police. Dean walks out, and Stacey asks him if he had any part in it. Chelsea tells her to leave Dean out of it. Stacey tells her it’s because Sean dumped her. Chelsea tells her, “and only you would think something like that!” Stacey said, “and only an evil twisted cow like you could do something like this.” Chelsea confesses it was her that told the police what she saw. Stacey says that Sean has done a lot of things and he’s held his hand up to every single one of them. He would never hurt or attack an old man. Chelsea tells her she’s never seen him like she has. Stacey tells her she knows her brother. Chelsea tells her she doesn’t know him like she does. She’s never seen him the way she has. Stacey asks her what that supposed to mean is. Chelsea says that he would go off and stare and go off into this state. She always wondered what he would do if someone pushed him too far.

In the pub, the locals are all chatting about Sean. Ian says he wonders why something like this hasn’t happened before. Gus says the guys a nutter. He should have stayed in the Army where he could beat up people who deserve it. Not nice old blokes like Patrick. Jane reminds him that they are only questioning him. Ian looks around and says “do you see them questioning anyone else?” Jane says whatever happened to presumed innocent until proven guilty? You know habeas corpus? Ian makes a joke of it and says “alright give him a fair trial then shoot him”  Gus says it’s rough justice as that is the same justice that has been given to Patrick. Mo walks in and asks for vodka. Ronnie looks at her like she can’t believe she has the nerve to come in. Everyone else is staring as well. Mo yells “does someone want to say something? What’s the matter? Cat got your tongues?” Ronnie tells her to leave it. Hasn’t there been enough trouble as it is? Mo says “had enough of the Slaters already you mean?” Ian tells her yup you said it Mo. She tells him she might have known he’d be sticking the knife in. Gus speaks up and says it’s about Sean, not her, Stacey or Charlie. Mo says well doesn’t seem like it with all the daggers they’ve been getting every place they go. She says “someone’s painted a giant bullseye on that lads back and you lot are queuing up to stab him.” Ian says that it’s not the first time. If they’d all paid attention to what Trevor was doing maybe Little Mo wouldn’t have had to go through what she did. Mo tells asks if he’s implying that history is repeating itself. Ian says yes he is. If the Slaters wouldn’t bury their heads in the sand, then it might not happen. But they are closing ranks around him. Mo hurries out.

DI Carson says she has a problem here. She has witnesses placing him at the scene, the testimony of a violent disagreement at the scene, and the fact that he attempted to evade arrest. She wonders why she shouldn’t just read him and send him back to his cell. Sean tells her he doesn’t know. He says she should tell him. Because there is something else in this all that bothers me, she says. Sean says “what like I didn’t do it?” She says “and that’s your girlfriend. According to her, you wanted to see us, and she came over to fetch me. Insisted you wanted to speak to us. So why? At first, I thought you were just trying to get rid of her, but that’s a bit elaborate. If you were just planning to do a runner why wouldn’t you just go? Why waste time?” Sean asks what she said.  She tells him she can’t put it together. “It’s a loose end, and she doesn’t like them. They have a nasty habit of creeping up on you, and she doesn’t like it.  Or was your girlfriend just shooting us a line and trying to help you escape?
“Di Carson asks him. Sean tells her that she wasn’t shooting her a line. DI Carson wonders why he would run. She says don’t tell me “no comment.”

Stacey arrives back at the police station, and she asks to speak to DI Carson. DI Dunn tells her he knows the routine. He’s snow white, and he’s innocent. Stacey tells him no, she has something important to tell her. It’s something she needs to know. He tells her she’ll find out all she needs to know in the questioning. Stacey tells him it’s something she needs to know about one of the witnesses.

Carly walks into the house and past Dean. He asks her how Patrick is doing. She tells him he’s stable and they are waiting for him to come around. Dean is glad to know he’s ok. Carly says that Denise said that there is a chance that he could have brain damage but they’ll know later.  She couldn’t stay up there because of the way Denise looked at her. She says she knows Sean is not lying. She knows he can do some stupid things but he wouldn’t do this, and he’s not guilty.

Charlie and Dot try to convince Yolande to go home and get some rest. Yolande doesn’t want to go home and be surrounded by their things. Denise says that she’ll see Patrick there amongst his things soon enough. Yolande wonders if she will. Dot consoles her and reminds her of what the doctor said. That he is out of danger. She worries he won’t be the Patrick she knows. She wants the Patrick who sneaks off to the bookies or to the Vic. They try to convince her he’ll be back to his old ways in no time.

Chelsea and Dean are called to the station. DI Carson comes out. Dean asks if it is about the statements.  Back in his room, Sean is aggravated and wonders where DI Carson is.  DI Carson is in the room with Chelsea and Dean. She wants to know why she never told them that she was in a relationship with Sean previously and that it had ended badly. Chelsea says it doesn’t take much to figure out who told them that does it. DI Carson tells her it doesn’t matter who told them because it matters that she didn’t. Chelsea tells her that it has nothing to do with it. DI Carson says that “the Defense Barrister would have an issue with it. The chief witness for the prosecution has a grudge against the very witness she’s testifying against?”  Chelsea says “so you think the same as her, do you? That I made all this up just to get back at him?” DI Carson tells her that it’s made her stop and think and if it’s done her then it certainly will a jury stop and think to.o. Chelsea tells her that it’s true her and Sean used to date. She fancied him, who wouldn’t? Until you get to know him and find out what he’s really like. And if she had any sense, she’d have never dated him. And if she could turn back time she’d have someone else walk in that shop and find Patrick. Chelsea says to ask Deano why they didn’t see her straight away. They didn’t want him on their backs. DI Carson tells her she wanted to make sure she knows what happens when this goes to court.

Charlie walks into the house and finds Mo in the front room. She tells him it’s a good thing Sean isn’t around, or they’d have him strung up at the nearest light pole. Charlie tells her that if he did do this, then he’d deserve it. She tells him he’s starting to sound like the rest of the square. Charlie tells her that if he did do this, she’d be the first to put the noose around his neck. She doesn’t think it’s down to Sean. She knows he’s got a bit of a wild side. Charlie says look at Jean. Maybe it’s all coming out of him now. He says he wonders what is going on in that head of his sometimes. And if he’s honest, sometimes he frightens him.

Sean tells his solicitor that he’s told them everything. Alan tells him that he’s told them nothing happened. That is what happened, nothing right. Sean yells at the office on guard to get the DI back in there. In the other room, DI Carson is finishing up with Chelsea and Dean. As she’s walking out of the room, she asks Chelsea and Dean if they are sure he was wearing jeans and a light colored shirt. Chelsea says she is sure as she bought that shirt for him after their first date. DI Carson sighs and knowing sigh.

Yolande is going to go in and see Patrick. She wonders if she should tell him what is going on with Sean and the police. Dot says to tell him they are praying for him. At the station, DI Carson is handed a package from DI Dunn. It’s a tape. Yolande walks into the room and whispers Patrick’s name. At the station, DI Carson puts the CCTV tape in the machine. As it’s playing she points out to him that he’s wearing the very shirt he swore blind he wasn’t wearing. Sean winces and says so what so he forgot what shirt he was wearing. DI Carson tells him that everything he’s said has been a lie. HE walked into that shop and smashed his head so hard that it fractured his skull. He tells her it’s not true. She says that is exactly how the witnesses described it as they watched from the doorway. He looks up determined and says that is not true. She tells him to make it easy on himself. He tells her he couldn’t of. He tells her that he will tell her what happened. His attorney cautions him not to say anything. She sits down, and he tells her what happened. He came in the front door, and whoever had done it must have gone out the back. He couldn’t have been laying there but for a few seconds. He says that all he could think about is how they’d just had this massive row. He knows Stacey and Yolande saw the row. And then a few minutes later he was laying in front of him. She asks him what he was doing. He checks to see if he was breathing and went out the back. She wonders why he just left him on the floor hurt. Sean asks if that is a crime. She says it’s pretty cruel thinking. So you walk into a shop see a man lying on the ground in a pool of blood and you check to see if he’s breathing then you just walk out the back and do nothing.  He says “I started to think what if someone had seen me go in and what if someone saw me leave. Then you said there were witnesses. So I told my girlfriend everything and sent her to come to get you. ” She asks if that was when he worked out to do a runner. He tells her that he heard they were already looking for him. She says, so you’ve been lying. “First you weren’t on the square then you were. You didn’t change clothes then you did. You didn’t see Patrick then you saw him on the floor. Interview terminated!” Sean yells out “Who is saying this? Who is saying I hit him?” DI Dunn is walking Chelsea and Dean out, and Sean sees them. He yells at them “OI YOU TWO YOU’RE DEAD! DEAD DO YOU HEAR ME?”
