Episode 6949 (17th November 2008)

Plot
Becky is busy preparing for Hayley’s return and despite Roy’s protestations that he doesn’t want a fuss, she has made a banner and even arranged some flowers for him to take to the airport. But the day doesn’t turn out quite as planned when Roy comes back from the airport alone – Hayley wasn’t on the flight.

David's worried about retaliation from the Windass family but he and Graeme decide to hide their concerns from Tina. However, when Joe is roughed up by Gary and Len and has his tools stolen, they can’t keep the secret for much longer. When Joe reveals to Gail that he isn't insured, the enormity of what he's started hits home to David.

Darryl is full of ideas for the takeaway, oblivious to the fact that Dev has started legal proceedings to buy the shop from Jerry.

But Dev has other things on his mind when Tara arrives at the flat, upset having discovered that her ex-partner had been having an affair with her mother.

Elsewhere, Jason drowns his sorrows after getting an earful from Becky.
