Episode 9008 (7th October 2016)

Plot
David taunts an unconscious Macca before putting his hand over his face. He's interrupted by the nurse before he can do any damage and bluffs his way out of the situation. Sarah sees Bethany for the second time in one day and orders her into the cafe to have something to eat. Tim takes Tommy Orpington down while tackling Steve. Tommy has to go to A&E and tells off Tim and Steve for acting like children. They realise that their newfound friendship is over. Bethany can't bear to eat the sandwich Sarah puts in front of her and bursts into tears. Sarah tells her that she's beautiful and doesn't need to worry about how she looks. David finally arrives home, not caring that he's made everyone worry with his disappearing act. Bethany tells Sarah that she can forget her troubles when she runs. Sarah decides to renew her gym membership on the condition that she doesn't make herself ill. Pat recommends that he and Vinny disappear soon. Sarah buys Gary a drink to make amends. The family liaison officer tells David that he won't be required to give evidence as the prosecution would discredit it because of the posters. Vinny agrees to conclude the scam in two months. David tells Nick that he went to see Macca and would have killed him if he hadn't been interrupted. Audrey is annoyed that Freddie has arranged to stay at No.9 and takes it personally. Nick makes David promise to drop his vendetta and stay away from Macca. Freddie smooths things over with Audrey, explaining that he doesn't believe it should be her responsibility to look after him. Jim calls Steve to deliver some news. Sarah and Gary flirt across the bar and later share a kiss. Disregarding his promise to Nick, David scouts out Weatherfield Crown Court on his laptop.
