Nicola found distraught Harry at the garage and explained that Teddy took the fall because they feared that his drug addiction would worsen significantly if he went to prison.
She urged her son not to feel guilty about Teddy’s imprisonment and made it clear that he is pleading self-defence and so would be home very soon.
Barney was also struggling to come to terms with what had happened, and in an emotional scene, Nicola gave him the watch that Teddy had planned to pass down to him on his 18th birthday.
