The Braithwaites were stunned that the Eurolottery was taking Dame Alison to court because her underage daughter illegally bought her winning lottery ticket. But everyone reckons she'll get off if she lies about who bought the ticket. And, as her viperish daughter Virginia points out, she's very good at lying. However, the whole vile, selfish family falls to pieces when events take a surprising turn. This is a powerful, engrossing episode, although there's a fantasy sequence involving Virginia that jars rather than enhances. A heavily pregnant Alison takes the stand at the High Court after the press finds out that her under-age daughter bought the winning ticket.

Virginia and Sarah get a shock when they discover each other's 'dirty' secrets tonight. And, of course, Megan's tangled up in it all. Alison and David are reconciled by a death in the family, but the funeral brings and unwelcome visitor. Sarah exacts a daring and inventive revenge on teacher Daniel.

Will Megan's involvement with Virginia lead to disaster? Can Alison resist Graham? Graham returns and attempts to get back with Alison who resists him despite the suspicions of David and Charlotte, while Tamsin finds Virginia with Meagan.
