Later, Mia confronts Aaron over Amy’s rape allegation but Aaron explains that they slept together once, Amy cried rape but then changed her mind and the police dropped the case.

Mia’s appalled to think Amy’s dragging Aaron’s name through the mud. DS Swain calls at No.1 and tells Amy that a serious allegation of harassment has been made against her.

Furious at the injustice of her situation, Amy sets about writing up her whole dreadful ordeal.

Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) encourages Amy to post her document about Aaron on social media so Amy posts it online.

At the garage, Abi and Tyrone Dobbs (lan Halsall) tell Aaron that they’ve read Amy’s online post and he can find himself another job meanwhile Eric Sandford (Craig Cheetham) vows to make Amy pay.

Eric calls at No.1 and announces that he’s suing Amy for libel.

When Amy receives a letter from Eric’s solicitor ordering her to take down her post or they’ll sue, Steve advises her to stick to her guns but Dee Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) warns them that a libel case could end up costing them a fortune.

Tracy McDonald’s (Kate Ford) adamant that they’ll fight it all the way.

Steve and Tracy realise they’ll have to sell their businesses to fund the legal fees meanwhile Eric and Aaron meet up with their solicitor who warns them of the risks of taking the case to Court.

Pushing ahead, Tracy arranges for a valuation on the florists.

Will it get to court or will Amy and Aaron be able to settle their differences?
