Plot
Sunita and Mena continue to mend bridges and Dev and Suresh are delighted to see them so happy. They vow to have more evenings like this. Dev leaves the dinner party to sort out the alarm at his Eccles shop which is going off. As Dev goes to unlock the Eccles shop, there's a flash and a massive explosion from inside the shop. Dev is thrown across the street where he lies motionless.

Frankie cooks for Jack and Vera. Jack thinks Frankie's posh but Frankie explains she's no posher than they are and was brought up on a council estate in North London. Frankie pretends to come on to Jack. Jack thinks she's serious and Frankie enjoys winding him up. Frankie's appalled to arrive home after a day slogging in the café and looking after Vera to find the house a tip. She demands Danny takes her out.

Meanwhile, Sean takes Kelly back to No.11 for a night cap. Kelly really fancies him and proceeds to tell him all about her childhood, the foster parents and her absent mum. Kelly leans in and tries to kiss Sean. He pushes her away but she's persistent.

Liz and Deirdre invite Eileen to join them for a pizza. Frankie, fed up at being in the Rovers again, invites herself along and abandons Danny.

Elsewhere, Jamie and Leanne head into town for a night out.
