Next week, Jimmy confides in Mandy about the state of his marriage to Nicola. 

Mandy tells Jimmy that he needs to prioritise Carl when considering his plea, and Jimmy agrees, later making a call to Juliette.

The following day, Nicola is stunned to realise Jimmy has invited Juliette over for a chat and can’t believe it when he opens up to her about Carl’s silence. 

Jimmy suggests she take him out for the day to see if she can get him to open up. 

Later, Ethan tells Jimmy the meteorological report from the day of the crash could be vital in proving his innocence. 

Back at home, Jimmy breaks the news to Nicola that he’s going to plead guilty to his charge. 

Nicola despairs at the prospect of Jimmy pleading guilty, but he refuses to talk to her about it anymore.

This week, Jimmy tells Nicola their marriage is over after she continues to lie about her business alliance with Mackenzie Boyd.

With Jimmy facing criminal proceedings, Nicola decided to team up with Mack, telling him he could use their vans for a cut of whatever he makes.

But when Jimmy discovered what had been going on, he was furious to realise Nicola had betrayed him.
