Episode 7187 (19th October 2009)

Plot
It is the day of baby Liam's christening and after a difficult start to the day, an uneasy truce is called between Maria and Tony and the Connors. Helen's pleased when Maria relents and dresses Liam in the family christening gown.

As the family settle down for lunch, Tony proposes a toast but is interrupted by a phone call. Clearly unsettled, Tony tells Maria and the Connors that he has to go to an emergency meeting but assures them that he'll be back in time to leave for the christening.

Leaving the house, Tony heads straight for the cemetery and towards Liam's grave where Carla's waiting for him…

Meanwhile, Luke's harbouring a secret as he furtively packs a bag. An unsuspecting Rosie heads to Underworld with him and goes through her ideas about the changes she plans to make now that she's the majority shareholder. Luke strings her along and secretly deletes his computer files as he continues with his escape plan. After packing up his belongings, he drives off in his car.

Elsewhere, Pam's been debt collecting for Bill but he's less than impressed when she returns with a boat from one customer in lieu of payment. Joe, however, is quite taken with it.
