Episode 7351 (31st May 2010)

Plot
On the Street, Robbie continues to befriend Roy and goes on to introduce himself to Carla, claiming he's a market trader looking for seconds from the factory. Keen to offload the Rickson order she didn't complete, Carla agrees to meet Robbie the following day.

Updating Tony on his progress, Robbie reveals that the factory staff have been laid off while builders are in fixing the leaky roof. Insisting that Robbie ceases the building work, Tony checks that his accomplice is on course for the next phase of their plan.

Continuing his chats with Roy about trains, Robbie invites him to a rail convention and oblivious that he's walking into a trap, Roy agrees.

Back in prison Tony instigates a fight, before falling to the floor while clutching his chest. Assuming that Tony's having a heart attack, the guards call an ambulance. As they speed towards the hospital, Robbie's van suddenly forces the ambulance off the road, causing it to crash. As the guards stagger out, a masked Robbie holds them at gunpoint and order them to free Tony. Tony and Robbie drive off on a motorcycle.

Meanwhile, the Platts are full of nerves as they head to court for Gail's trial. Gail's dreading taking the stand as her legal team remind her that it's crucial for her to remain calm.

Deirdre speaks to Tracy in prison, anxious to know what she hopes to achieve by giving evidence against Gail. Tracy assures Deidre that she's telling the truth about Gail's confession and is taking such drastic action so she can spend more time with Amy. Deirdre, however, begs Tracy to reconsider.

Back in the courtroom, Gail's frustrated as she listens to the prosecution detail her troubled relationship with Joe as well as their poor financial situation. They go on to label her a cold-hearted killer. Calling their first witness, Tracy swears on oath as she prepares to give evidence.
