Plot
John panics as he scrambles for an explanation. He ends up telling Brian that he is living under the name John Stape as he's on the run after witnessing a murder. Graeme is confused when Tina refuses to drink with him and David. Brian believes John's story as it explains his departure from the school. Tyrone returns home but regrets going with Jack to the strip club. Chesney buys Katy a gift. Fiz returns No.5 as Brian leaves. She's angry at John for adding to their problems but he thinks he's done them a favour as Brian won't bother them any more. Owen pins Chesney up against a wall and threatens him when Chesney calls on Katy. Graeme tackles Tina about her treatment of David but she remains hostile. He later tells David that he thinks Tina is having doubts about moving in with him. Brian runs into Julie and they get chatting about Neil Diamond. When Molly questions Tyrone about going to the strip club, he says he had to go as he wants to be there for Jack. He goes on to tell her about Jack's cancer and breaks down, admitting that Jack's acceptance of it bothers him. The Staps are alarmed to see Brian and Julie chatting in the Rovers. John tries to spoil the mood but they arrange a date.
