Gareth isn't the only one who has been affected by the case.

Meanwhile, Melissa is dreading telling her partner, Scott Watson (Liam Doyle, from Legally Blonde: The Musical), the truth about what happened.

When Melissa arrives home from being examined and interviewed at the Police Station, Scott starts to sense that something is wrong.

Melissa starts to explain what happened the night before with Nicholas...

It doesn't take long for Scott to realise what has happened.

Could he somehow have prevented it?

But rather than getting the sympathy and emotional support she was expecting, Melissa finds herself further interrogated by Scott...

He accuses her of being over flirty when she is drunk.

Is Scott somehow trying to suggest it was Melissa's fault?

Is that an admission of guilt?

Stressed-out, Nicholas visits Al Haskey (Ian Midlane) for help at The Mill.

Nicholas tells AL that something has happened at work and he is being blamed.

He doesn't go into the full specifics but will Al start to suspect WHAT Nicholas has been accused of?
