The hard-hitting flashback continues and as Nina relives Seb's last, tragic moments she is overcome with emotion and decides to make a new statement to the police armed with the details she's remembered. Will it make a difference in getting justice for the deceased?

The trial gets underway and Sabeen is shaken to hear about Nina's new statement and the fresh evidence that has come to light. Could this wipe the confident smile off Corey's face? Refusing to be intimidated for who she is, Nina returns to her goth look for the first time since the attack.
Abi is upset when Seb's final voicemail to his mum is played, while Nina recalls she remembers seeing Corey kick his victim and wouldn't stop when Kelly tried to get him to stop. Then it's Nina's turn to be cross-examined by the formidable Sabeen…

Nina loses her cool under cross-examination from Sabeen and has to take a breather, unnerving Imran that the defence team has gained the upper hand. Once questioning resumes, Nina's revelations panic Corey's dad Stefan Brent (Paul Opacic) who starts to doubt his son's version of events.
Asha takes the stand but feels responsible for the tragedy when its implied Corey targeted Nina because he was jealous of the girls' closeness, and Seb merely got in the way. Plus, Kelly tells Imran her mum has offered to give evidence, but will gobby Laura Neelan (Kel Allen) only make things worse?

Corey's in the dock and tells a pack of lies about how Kelly was the ringleader and threatened to have him killed if he went to the police. Imran lays into the lad and tries to force a confession as stunned Kelly seethes at being set up, but can he break him down into admitting the truth?
Elsewhere in Weatherfield, Curtis Delamere (Sam Retford) is rushed to hospital after he collapses in the bistro, Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine) and Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) take Hope Stape (Amelia Flanagan) to her first session with the child psychologist and Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) tries to steal Phelan's ashes.
