Brad scrolls through Amber’s posts online while listening to George on the phone, boasting about his gorgeous girlfriend. When Brad mentions Tilly Button George is scathing – Amber is in a different league. Brad reckons George should slow down, but George insists that Amber is the one. She gets him like no one else does. George then asks Brad to retrieve the t-shirt from his room that he was wearing when Amber first saw him. She wants to wear it next time she visits. Outside No. 1 The Green Brad remembers Amber from school, telling her she looks really different, but Amber shuts him down. Once inside Brad becomes irritated by Amber’s patronising attitude, reminding her how she used to look at school before she grabs the t-shirt and goes.

Usha drives Kenton to the police station, having persuaded them to let him do the Identification again. She gives him a pep talk, but Kenton just wants it all to be over. Afterwards, Kenton buys Usha lunch, telling her he definitely identified the right man. He’d still rather not give evidence in court though. Harrison warned Kenton that the defence team will more than likely use him bottling out the first time to discredit him. Usha mulls over the pros and cons of what Kenton has done, before concluding it demonstrates Kenton’s strength of character in overcoming his fears. But the only way to stop Markie and his gang from doing this to someone else is by giving evidence. Kenton agrees, saying that it would put an end to the nightmare of shame he’s been suffering.
