Jay pays a secret visit to the police

The atmosphere remains tense at the Mitchell house as the social worker arrives with George, explaining that he can stay with the family until Darren is tracked down. However, the youngster's presence serves as a constant reminder of Heather.

Later, Patrick spots a piece of burnt clothing at the allotment, which appears to be one of the blue hoodies from Andrew's stag night. Patrick immediately calls the police, realising that this could be a clue. The police then carry out a thorough search of Dot's house, but they fail to find Andrew's hoodie. A suspicious Patrick says that Andrew must have burnt it, and Dot can't help but agree with his theory. However, deciding to do some detective work of their own, Dot, Cora and Rose break into R&R and manage to find Andrew's hoodie hanging up in his locker. But they're soon in legal trouble themselves when Billy arrives with a police officer.

Meanwhile, DS Crisp starts asking Phil about Jay's hoodie from the stag night. Phil fobs him off, but privately warns Ben that the burnt clothing has been found and the net seems to be closing in. Thinking the truth will soon come out, Ben tells a confused Roxy that he's sorry about what he did to Heather. However, Phil is in luck as he manages to get hold of Billy's hoodie and tells Jay to pass it off as his own. Relieved that all hope isn't lost, Ben quickly changes the conversation with Roxy to ensure that she doesn't get suspicious.

Jay is horrified as the reality of the cover-up hits home, realising that innocent Andrew could be sent down over this. He then pays a visit to the police station - what will he tell them?

Also today, Jean realises that Andrew can't be the killer as she saw him at the time of Heather's death. However, Phil tries to put her off from talking to the police, reminding her that her benefit fraud and mental health issues would bring her statement into question.
