After months away, cult leader Rowan Cunliffe is back, and his trial kicks off in dramatic fashion. Tensions run high as Rowan’s barrister puts Amy, Nick, and Leanne through grueling cross-examinations, pushing them all to breaking point. When Rowan flashes a smug grin at Leanne during court, she loses control, leading to an explosive outburst that forces the judge to adjourn the session.
Has Leanne’s temper jeopardized the case? Her emotional reaction leaves the Battersby family worried that Rowan may use her actions to his advantage. Jane Danson, who plays Leanne, shared: “Leanne’s so determined to see Rowan brought to justice, but her emotions get the better of her. It’s raw and shows just how much this trial is taking its toll.” Leanne’s slip-up could prove costly, but will it derail the fight for justice completely?

Shepherd, who plays David, revealed: “David’s caught in a situation where he thinks he’s protecting Shona, but really, he’s making everything worse. He’s stuck between a rock and a hard place.”
Determined to uncover the truth, Shona makes a bold move. She jumps into Steve’s cab and insists on being taken to the prison despite swearing Steve to secrecy. Later, Steve reveals to Max that Shona had a confrontation at the prison gates, where she clashed with the governor and let her anger get the better of her.
