In court Reader plays to the gallery,Annie appears fragile and Bradley accuses Martha of being too soft on her. After she has warned Niamh about Reader's bed-hopping the junior gives her some information which tips the case in her favour though she still wonders who was telling the truth. Niamh gets bail for Gary Ross,whom Martha recently got off a robbery case but Martha doubts his innocence when part of the loot,a medal,appears in her locker.
