Plot
Peter admits to the police that he got drunk and can't remember what he did on the night of Frank's death but says he knows he wouldn't go to prison for a waste of space like Frank. He is released without charge. Nick tackles Lewis about the missing £50. Peter tells Carla he's probably the prime suspect because of her lie now. Rita and Dennis announce their engagement in the Rovers. Everyone is happy for them but Norris isn't sure she's doing the right thing. Anne tells the police the contract giving Frank sole ownership of Underworld is missing from his files. The police haven't taken it either. Audrey returns the necklace to Lewis, thinking he stole the money to buy it for her. He pleads innocence. Anne is upset when Beth says they might at least have their jobs. She breaks down in front of Sally, saying she's finished without her husband and son. Eva returns from a shopping trip and tells Nick she left a note for him saying she's borrowed £50 from the till. Carla tries to convince Peter she believes he's innocent. Anna gets drunk and accuses Carla of stepping over Frank's body to take the contract. The police arrive and arrest Carla. Audrey finds Lewis and tells him she's sorry for not having faith him but he leaves anyway. Rita tells Norris she's having a Spring wedding and she expects him to make a speech. Sunita thanks Karl for an enjoyable evening. Carla learns her fingerprints were found on the whiskey bottle which was used to kill Frank.
