Episode 8164 (8th July 2013)

Plot
Gail returns home after spending the night with Sally and David offers his apologies, saying he’s been stressed but Gail refuses to listen, worried that he will take out his frustrations on Kylie or the baby next time. Eileen is worried about seeing the counsellor for her worries over Paul’s job. Leanne is setting up for the student night at the bistro and has organised a reporter from the Weatherfield Gazette to help with publicity. Nick is unsupportive, nervous about the result. Ryan is up late after his night out clubbing and tells Katy that he’s meeting a friend in town. She reminds him that they’re taking Joseph to the doctor for a check-up. The business at Underworld is up so Michelle and Carla decide to treat themselves in town. Leanne tells David that a reporter will be at the student night. Sinead asks Chesney if he and Katy have unfinished business. He denies it. Kirk tells Chesney that he and Beth saw Ryan with another girl but Chesney says it’s none of his business. Nick hears about David’s row with Gail and asks Kylie to keep an eye on him. David sees them talking and storms out of the bistro. Tim tells Jason that he’s thinking of moving on and Jason realises that Owen Armstrong has been heavying him. Eileen chickens out of going to the counselling session. Chesney bumps into Katy and Ryan in the cafe and Sinead has doubts about Chesney’s commitment to her. She decides to take a raincheck and go home. Business picks up in the bistro as the students arrive. Katy overhears comments from Beth about her and Ryan and starts to worry. Tim tells Anna that he’s going to leave the area but he wants to tell Faye himself. Katy calls to pick up Joseph and she and Chesney start to row. The student night is a success. Seeing the reporter, Naila, in the bistro, David makes a phone call to the police. They turn up just before the reporter leaves, with a warrant to search the premises as they have heard that there is drug dealing taking place.
