Episode 5668 (12th January 2004)

Plot
Cilla and Les take Chesney to Weatherfield General to get his "injuries" checked out. Todd won't listen when Eileen tells him that he'll live to regret getting married. Dev persuades Maya that she can't afford to buy an expensive vase in Elevation. He's stunned when she later produces it and says she stole it from the shop. Rita decides to take Chesney some sweets and comics to smooth the waters. Directed by Cilla, Chesney gives an award winning performance in A and E. Gail tells Eileen that she's not happy about the wedding either, but she doesn't want to risk her relationship with Sarah by saying anything. Maya is initially blasé about stealing the vase, but flips out completely when Dev refuses to let the matter go. Dev wonders what sort of woman she really is. Chesney's x-ray results show that he's fine, apart from superficial cuts and bruises but the doctor warns Cilla that head injuries are unpredictable. Cilla checks that everything is on the record now, and is delighted that her plan is panning out. Charlie postpones his date with Bev when an emergency job comes up. Eileen and Nick realise that they can't fight the wedding and give their blessings. Cilla uses Rita's peace offerings as evidence that Rita is feeling guilty about Chesney. She tells Rita that she's reporting her for serious assault on a child.
