Episode 7217 (27th November 2009)

Plot
It's the day of Tony's first court appearance and as Michelle and Ryan prepare to face Liam's killer, they're dreading it but are determined to see him taken down.

Carla also needs closure and as she slides into the back of the courtroom, she locks eyes with Tony. Her face registers nothing but when Tony's charged with murder, she's clearly shaken. As Tony's led away, Michelle jumps to her feet and launches a blistering attack.

Meanwhile, at Underworld, Hayley starts her new job as manager and Janice enjoys rubbing Sally's nose in the fact that she's been demoted. As the girls bicker, Carla takes control and announces that from now on, she'll be in charge. After weeks of gossip about Underworld's future, the girls are left in no doubt that Carla is back.

Pam urges Molly to work on her marriage to Tyrone but it soon becomes clear that she has no such intention as she heads over to see Kevin for some afternoon delight. Getting off on the risk, the pair get steamy in the Websters' bed but when they hear noises downstairs, they freeze in a state of panic. As Sophie heads upstairs, it looks like they're about to be caught in the act…

Elsewhere, Gail and Audrey finally sit down for a heart-to-heart. As Audrey details Gail's terrible track record with men, she hopes that she can make her change her mind about marrying Joe. Gail, however, is adamant that she loves Joe and intends to marry him.
