Jay finally learns the truth

Nick's taped to a chair in the barrel store at The Vic with Billy looking over him. Seemingly unfazed by the situation, Nick taunts Billy about having Phil do his dirty work, but Billy protests that he's doing what's needed to protect Jay. Things soon turn violent when Billy screams at Nick and pushes him to the ground, before grabbing for a knife. When Phil later returns, he finds Billy alone on the chair admitting that he let Nick go. Determined to prove his worth as a Mitchell, Billy storms outside looking for Jay. He finds his surrogate son at the sari shop looking at a shelf that his father installed. As they talk, Jay's stunned into silence as Billy admits to standing by while Terry and co. killed his dad.

Clearly dumbfounded by Billy's revelation, Jay barges into the sari shop and steals 'Jase's shelf', before running off. Later, Billy finds Jay sitting alone fuming in the launderette. Screaming that he hates him, Jay runs off again. Across the Square, Jay bumps into Dot and he's further shocked to discover that she even knew about the true events surrounding his father's death. Dot's further confused when Jay threatens that he's going to kill Nick when he finds him.

Dawn bumps into Jay on the Square and in the heat of the moment, Jay blurts out that Billy stood by and watched Jase die. Dawn's gobsmacked as she didn't know the truth, either. After a run-in with Phil in the café, Jay finds comfort in Dawn and breaks down in her arms as the truth about Billy's betrayal sinks in. Billy, meanwhile, struggles to know what to do for the best, and Phil feels the brunt of his anger. Later at Dot's, Billy arrives to confront Nick, but Nick's already convinced Dotty to lie for him. Inviting Billy inside, Dotty convinces him that her dad gave all his money to her in a bid to prevent her from being taken into care.

When Billy finally speaks to Dot, he covers Nick's involvement in the truth coming out and insists that Nick was only urging him to tell Jay the awful truth.

Elsewhere, Stacey's still missing; and Chelsea attempts to persuade Theo that he has a talent for teaching.
