Fair City's Paul Brennan has been sent to prison after a dramatic court hearing in Sunday's visit to Carrigstown.
Watch: The trailer for Tuesday's Fair City
After Mondo was found not guilty over the death of Anto, attention turned to Paul's court appearance for stealing wine - and his mouth was his undoing.
He scolded Judge Cowhey for being late to court, and despite Melanie and Claire's efforts to keep him in check, Paul continued to snipe at the judge and became defensive when questioned.
Judge Cowhey, unimpressed by both Paul's conduct and the crime, sentenced him to nine months in prison.
As a shocked Paul was led away, Nicola promised she would do everything she could to help him.
Teeing up what's ahead this week, Fair City said: "On Tuesday, arriving in prison, a nervous Paul is introduced to his cellmate, Danny, by Dessie, the prison guard.
"Danny offers to show him the ropes.
"Paul is rattled when he realises he is also sharing with Kev Toner."
Earlier this year, Paul made a phone call that resulted in Kev's arrest.
"Kev warns him that 'rats' aren't safe behind bars..." Fair City added.
Fans can watch what happens next on Tuesday on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player at 8:00pm.
Fair City airs on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
