SPOILERS FOR BBC NEIGHBOURS, 18-22 FEB'08 (5336-5340)


Rosetta has a hard time at home & work, as young Ringo desperately tries
everything to wriggle out of her accusations, then she sees Jarrod filling
Susan & Karl with a confidence he doesn't have. Paul & Oliver try to rescue
Elle, but she's looking forward to new challenges. Frazer falls for Ringo's
lies, until he catches his kid brother by the bins, vomiting a dinner he'd
been made to eat. Though Jarrod ducks out of a meeting with the prosecutor
to hide a panic attack, he's working late at night when another one hits.

Stephanie begs Jarrod to drop the case for his own sake, but he won't let
Susan down. In desperation, Frazer brings in the big guns - their mother
Prue, who gets a handle on Ringo, making him accept Mr.Fitzgerald's help.
Though Stephanie tells her about the panic attacks, even Susan can't stop
Jarrod now. Snooping through Marco's photos, Carmella & Rosetta are rocked
to discover he is married. Jarrod decides to force an adjournment by not
turning up for court, even though this would sabotage his career.

A resentful Ringo sees a chance for revenge against Fitzgerald, who has
caricatured an unpopular teacher. Stephanie makes Jarrod attend Susan's
trial, where Karl has to attend to him after another attack. Ringo's plan
backfires when Jessica plasters copies of the cartoon all over school, and
he's caught trying to take them down. Assuring Carmella that he's divorced,
Marco smoothly silences her apologies with a kiss. Although the judge is
stoutly against him, Jarrod still won't let a crying Susan plead guilty.

Regretting her harsh testimony, Miranda comforts Susan, who then cannot
stand up okay. With Daniel in trouble after owning up, Ringo is angry with
Jessica, but her best friend Taylah Jordan supports her. Jarrod is shocked
to learn Susan has been suffering from dizzy spells, which Riley overhears.
To Ringo's surprise, Jessica makes a confession, only to flirt with him in
detention. After Riley alerts the prosecution, Karl is required to take the
stand, and admit that his wife knowingly drove a car while she was ill.

The case against Susan is suddenly swung when Bridget recalls stumbling
onto the road - no driver could've avoided her. Jessica tricks Ringo into
'rescuing her from a bad date', as an excuse to snog him. Elle makes Riley
let his anger go, and write an article explaining Susan's situation. Ringo
doesn't realise that Taylah captured the kiss on her mobile phone. Jarrod
persuades the prosecution to accept a suspended sentence in return for a
guilty plea, while Susan's declining health becomes a greater concern.
