Cassidy tries to convince the CPS to charge Talitha, but pressure from Cleo and new information threaten to derail her case. Cleo compromises her professionalism with Talitha and considers striking a deal with Damian that could prove mutually beneficial. Meanwhile, the police track down a third suspect who introduces a new theory about what happened on the night of the ball.

With the press out to get her, can Cleo help Talitha escape her wicked persona?

The trial everyone has been waiting for begins.

Time is running out for Cleo and Talitha as the trial reaches its explosive conclusion. After the prosecution rests, Dhillon and Talitha each have the chance to give their account of what happened between them and Hannah. Meanwhile, Cleo and James both face hard decisions as they attempt to ensure a fair trial. After a series of shocking revelations in court, the jury must reach a decision: did she do it?
