Despite having kept his head down while he was in jail for fraud, David found himself in a whole new world of trouble when a prison riot broke out and his cellmate Abe encouraged him to get revenge on rapist Josh by stabbing him with some scissors.

However, despite David protesting his innocence, Josh found himself attacked during the riots, and has pinned the blame on David.

But while David fights to prove it wasn’t him who stabbed Josh, Shona is at home trying to put off cancelling their wedding in the vain hope that a miracle might happen and he will be freed in time.

But next week sees Shona upset when Gail takes it upon herself to cancel the wedding herself, despite Shona insisting that David will be free in time.

Meanwhile, Nick has decided to bury the hatchet with his brother and thinks talking to Josh is the only way to prove David’s innocence.

However, when he tells Imran that he’s going to visit Josh at the hospital by pretending to be his solicitor, things don’t quite go to plan when Billy spots him and asks what he’s doing.

Not one to be deterred, Nick wonders if maybe Billy might be the answer to their prayers and asks him to have a word with Josh… and he agrees.

Billy visits David’s attacker in a bid to try and make him tell the truth about what really happened during the riots, but Josh is adamant that he only wants to look after himself and wants to stop David testifying in court.
