Following the freak accident which resulted in the villainous Paul Ashdale's death, when the barn he was due to marry Mandy Dingle at blew up, Jimmy King has decided to plead guilty to death by dangerous driving.

While Mandy assures Jimmy that when it comes to the charge and ensuing custody battle with his ex Juliette Holliday, he's got to do right by their son, Carl.

But how will his wife Nicola King take the news?
