Jack and Anna are in dire straits with a murder charge to defend, and Juliet is still unable to talk about life with Joe. A few months on, Juliet gives birth, under prison guard, to a daughter. The baby gives Juliet a renewed sense of purpose but her future is not looking any less bleak. Her legal team fails to stop the Family Court from ruling that Juliet is a risk to her baby. Her lawyers make it clear to her that she will need to open up and give them some details about her marriage if she is to stand a chance of winning the criminal case, and keeping her baby and Ella.

Time is running out. Jack tells Juliet that she needs to talk if she wants to stand a chance of keeping the children as well as her life as a free woman. This threat spurs her into action and she finally reveals to Jack the truth about her marriage. The trial begins and Ella takes the stand. The trauma of her daughter giving testimony is too much for Juliet. Ella breaks down in cross examination and in a heart-breaking moment, calls out for the comfort of her mother. How will the jury receive this? Which way will they go?
