Plot
Paul attacks Josh by putting pressure on his sore wound. He threatens him by telling his life in prison will be a living hell as a convicted rapist. Ken tries to talk Daniel round, saying he knows he’s scared of being home without Sinead there. Daniel breaks down, saying he won’t be at the funeral. Paul’s threats continue as he identifies the pain David suffered with what Kel did to him. He tells him how well he knows the people within the local prison system, what they will do to him at his request, and also what will he do to him personally upon his release. Josh sees the truth of his words when he sees him chatting away like old friends with the prison guard stationed outside his hospital room. Beth and the Barlows can’t agree on the funeral or the headstone. Peter points out that Beth's going against her niece’s last written wishes and his words seem to hit home.

Imran tells David that Josh has changed his statement and therefore he’s possibly being released tomorrow. Abi collects some things from No.4. Infuriated by further digs from Sally, she pours a dish of spaghetti bolognaise over her head. Shona is euphoric when David rings her with the news. Abi moves out of No.4. Paul is delighted to hear the news about Josh from Billy who guesses that he was involved. Amy insists to Emma that Tyler is a changed person. Len reports to Gary that Ali started going off the rails at work at the same time that a fellow worker there was arrested for stealing drugs. Gary decides to pursue the lead. Billy sees why Paul did what he did. Ken and Claudia pack for Scotland. Beth calls with the news that they’ve cancelled the headstone and she wants to start things over again.
