2702: Cheryl chooses Gilly over Calvin
Charlotte offers to support Lydia in court but she declines, insisting that they should keep their relationship secret for a while. Lydia tells the court about her previous suicide attempts and explains that she wished it was her that died, not Sarah. Zoe's shocked and although she knows that Lydia's lying, she's concerned by how convincing she is.

As Lydia continues to give evidence, Charlotte sneaks into the back of the court. She hears Lydia telling the court how much she loved Sarah and during the break, quizzes Lydia about it.

As the case continues, the knife that was used to cut the parachute is shown around the court. Lydia panics as Charlotte's sat next to her. She knows that if she sees the knife, she'll recognise it as hers - and in turn, realise who was really to blame for Sarah's death. Lydia feigns illness and hurries Charlotte out of the courtroom. However just before leaving, Charlotte spots the knife and her reaction is obvious.

When they return to the halls, Charlotte quizzes Lydia. Lydia tries to lie, but a determined Charlotte forces her to admit the truth - Lydia was the one who cut the parachute and killed Sarah. Lydia explains that it was meant for her and she wanted to die. As Charlotte tries to convince Lydia to come clean, Lydia tells her that if she went to prison, she would kill herself.

Meanwhile, Cheryl's planning a Caribbean meal for the Valentines' and invites Gilly along. When Calvin and Leo try and wriggle out of it, Lauren's annoyed - Cheryl's doing a nice thing and they should be grateful. When Cheryl leaves to get ready, Leo asks Calvin if he regrets never asking Cheryl out when he had the chance.

Much to Lauren's horror, Calvin tells them that Gilly's being used to make him jealous and if he wanted Cheryl, he could still have her. Gilly, having totally misunderstood the theme of the party, arrives dressed as Jack Sparrow and the night goes from bad to worse. Lauren tells everyone what Calvin said about Cheryl earlier, which results in Gilly threatening to take Calvin outside.

After things have calmed down, Cheryl walks Gilly to the door and they share a moment. She admits that at the beginning of their relationship, she wanted to make Calvin jealous but things have changed. Cheryl's finally over Calvin and doesn't even bother giving him a second look.

Elsewhere, it's India's first day working at The Dog and Josh has made an effort. He works hard to help her get to grips with things and when India overhears Gilly and Rhys talking about Calvin, she tells them how much she likes him.

Rhys worries that Josh is going to get hurt and tries to warn him about what could happen. Rhys's good intentions don't go to plan and after a few failed attempts to tell Josh privately, he announces it in front of India, humiliating Josh in the process.
