Plot
Maria and Jason are shocked to discover that the crash team were unable to revive Charlie and he’s dead. The police break the news to Tracy who hides her joy and plays the grieving girlfriend. However, the police disrupt her performance when they explain that new evidence has put events in a different light and are taking her back in for questioning.

Over at the Websters’, Bill smoothes the way for a long stay as he reveals that his marriage to Maureen is over and he’s back in Manchester for good. When he apologises to Audrey there’s a sense she’s not sorry to see him back!

Elsewhere, a furious Fiz gives Les a piece of her mind when Chesney is locked out of the house because he’s lost his key and Les is asleep on the sofa!

Also, Michelle’s having a cosy night in with Sonny but as they start to get closer, they’re interrupted by the arrival of Paul and a nosey Carla, who has no qualms about interrupting their date!
