Jill offers a lifeline and Tom is caught out

Johnny tries to persuade Tom and Hannah to stop arguing about the washing machine and come to Apple Day. He goes alone, then remembers that he’s left his phone behind – if he misses Freddie’s call the prison won’t let him try again. He walks in on Tom and Hannah canoodling on the sofa – on top of his phone! Johnny thinks it’s weird that they’ve been pretending to argue instead of just telling him. He doesn’t care what they get up to in private, but asks them to stick to their rooms.

At Apple Day Emma irritates Jazzer by complaining about Hannah. Emma knows Jazzer fancies Hannah – how’s that supposed to make him feel? Emma apologises. She advises him to try a low-key approach – challenge Hannah to a game of pool perhaps. Jazzer cheers up. He’s thought of the perfect thing. 

Jill helps Elizabeth with Freddie’s appeal. Carol’s given Jill Anna’s number, and apparently Anna would be happy to give her opinion. Elizabeth thanks Jill – she’d been worried Anna would think the case was beneath her. Later, Elizabeth hears that Freddie has accepted Johnny’s application to visit. Johnny asks if he can take anything with him. Elizabeth reports that Anna has agreed to look at his case file before Friday’s deadline. Hopefully they’ll soon have good news for Freddie.
