Supported by her colleague Geraldine and some of the other mothers Vicky attends her tribunal, where she is exonerated and Diane also faces a social services panel, who reinstate her as a child minder - but with a condition. Roanna and Ray catch up with Katie but not only does it come to light that Roanna has been seeing her ex-husband behind Simon's back but the long ago affair with Jonathan is also revealed.
