Everyone’s surprised by Sarah’s calmer attitude towards David and she disguises her motives well. However, Sarah puts the next step of her sabotage plan into action when she procures some ecstasy from a guy who's enjoying a Christmas do at the Italian.

As she arrives home, David comes back from Darryl’s and seems fairly downbeat, Gail dismisses Sarah's suggestion that maybe he’s been taking drugs, but the possibility is clearly playing on her mind.

Michelle is angry when Nick turns up in the Rovers, but wanting to avoid a scene, she ushers him over to a table. As Michelle tells him his story is absurd and hospitals don't just mix up babies, Nick stuns her when he says the only way to be sure is to have a DNA test.

He reveals that it's broken their family apart - he and his wife have split up over this and even if she doesn’t take the test, she'll never stop wondering. Michelle’s adamant that they're not taking any tests and tells Steve that Ryan will always be her son and a test won’t change that.

Jim arrives at the pub to collect Amy and Vernon’s upset when he notices Liz and Jim getting on - they’re not flirting but he's reminded him of their shared past. Later, Vernon’s mortified when Jim reveals that he read his wedding vows when he was waiting for Amy in the pub and is even more irked when Jim tells him that he knows Liz will love them.

Elsewhere, Fiz is upset when Chesney rejects her invitation to Christmas dinner when he realises that Kirk isn’t invited and will be on his own.
