In turmoil over his son's death, he doesn't believe Cathy's denial that she was responsible for the crash and thinks she's trying to pin the blame on Angel King who's denying the crime. It doesn't help that April has confirmed she saw Cathy driving Wendy's car out of the village.

Crumbling, he tells Wendy he just can't face the service.

It falls to Pollard to tell Cathy, who's been staying with him and her mother-figure Brenda, that her father isn't attending.

The teenager puts a brave face on it, determined to be in church for her brother.

Bob's support doesn't last long. As it dawns on Cathy that her dad still doesn't believe a word she's saying, she tells him she won't be moving home preferring to stay with Brenda who's accepted her side of the story from the off.

As guilt-ridden Angel limps through the churchyard, will the teenager finally do the right thing and admit she was driving?
