Helen's insecurities come to the fore.

After her confrontation with Ian, Helen is unsettled when hungover Kirsty reports from Whispers last night. Barman Leon plied her and her girlfriends with plenty of drinks and banter. Leon calls to cancel a date on Sunday in favour of going karting with a friend. Concerned Helen tries to play it cool.

Lilian visits Matt in prison. She looks for a sign he's missed her but Matt keeps his emotions under wraps, admonishing Lilian for wearing so much jewellery and telling her to keep things low-key.

Lilian asks Matt about life in the prison, and is hopeful when Matt says he might be released in six months, with an electronic tag. It is clear Matt is finding life hard but he does his best to keep a strong image. He's sharing a cell with someone else, and is looking forward to being given some work to do to alleviate the boredom. He confides that most of the guys are fairly pathetic. He cuts the visit short, just before time is up. Lilian is upset: but Matt assures her she can visit again in two weeks.

At the Bull, hurt Lilian turns to Jolene for support. Matt's a strong person - but can he survive prison?
