Also, the day of Justin's trial for the acid attack arrives, and there's a spy in the Rovers. Justin’s sister Karen calls at the pub, telling Daisy how sorry she is for Justin’s attack and how she hopes he’ll be sent down.
Daisy is touched by her support, but Carla and Ryan are appalled to see Justin’s sister in the Rovers and a row ensues. Throwing insults, Ryan reminds Daisy how she went out of her way to split him up from Alya.
