Episode 7354 (7th June 2010)

Plot
When Tony reveals that he intends to kill Carla and Hayley, a desperate Carla attempts to drive a wedge between Tony and Robbie. Capitalising on Tony's selfishness, Carla turns to Robbie and asserts that Tony will double-cross him.

At first Robbie laughs off the claim but when Tony discovers the factory's safe is empty - and hence he has no money to pay Robbie off - a row breaks out, and men go for the gun. Robbie grabs the gun and points it at Tony, but Tony convinces him not to shoot by promising to get the money by other means. Tony then takes the gun and points it at Robbie. Carla goads Tony, telling him that he won't shoot as he never had the guts to kill Liam himself, but just as Tony seems to be backing down he fires the gun. Robbie's lifeless body falls to the floor.

Maria unexpectedly turns up on the Street to tie up a few loose ends with Lad Rags. Oblivious to the imminent danger, Maria heads to the factory but before she enters, she hears a gunshot ring out. With one dead body on the floor, Tony warns the others that he's prepared to kill.

Meanwhile, David takes to the stand in court and defends his mother's honour. Under cross-examination, though, a desperate David reveals that he sent the text and flowers 'from Joe' to Tina, not Gail. The QC pounces on his admission and David's quickly discredited as a reliable witness.

After the judge's summing up, the jury is sent away to deliberate the verdict. As Gail's taken down, David feels sick with dread, feeling he destroyed the only chance Gail had of a 'not guilty' verdict.
