After letting her pal Cathy Hope go down for Heath's tragic demise, Angelica (portrayed by Rebecca Bakes) admitted she'd been behind the wheel when the accident that ended the lad's life took place.
Her parents, Nicola and Jimmy King, have been beside themselves as they face the reality of Angelica's actions and they will be leading her straight into a Secure Children's Home.
Faced with the possibility of staying behind bars for several years, Angel is understandably scared.
Thankfully for her, someone else in the ITV village has undergone a similar ordeal - Belle King (Eden Taylor-Draper).

Belle paid a harsh price for the death of her former pal Gemma Andrews, which occurred after a scuffle, several years ago.
Coming up next week, Tom King (James Chase) tells Belle he’d promised that she would talk to his cousin Angelica about the Secure Children’s Home given her experience in one.
He makes her feel guilty at the thought of saying no and, soon, Belle gets serious with Angel as the reality finally sets in.
Belle opens up about what other children in the SCH might be like, and Angel’s fear grows.

She worries she’ll face similar mental health difficulties to Belle, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Coming down the stairs in Victoria Cottage, Jimmy King (Nick Miles) discovers them both upset, and comforts Angel as he admonishes Belle, who flees distraught.
Upset to have had her past brought up, Belle’s even more regretful when Tom backtracks on the idea that he made her speak to Angelica.
She’s grateful when he promises to protect her in future.
Viewers of the Yorkshire-based program will remember that Heath Hope was killed off on New Year's Eve after a joyride gone wrong.
