Episode 8813 (8th January 2016)

Plot
Nessa follows Roy's car and goes inside, insistent on accompanying him to Cathy's to help them get back together. Cathy is engulfed in smoke and cries out for help. Roy and Nessa hear her pleas when they arrive at the house. Roy goes inside to rescue Cathy while Nessa calls the fire brigade. Carla goes off with Kate to escape from Nick and Robert. Brendan and Mary go for a pub dinner, determined not to let Norris get to them. Mary continues to swoon over Brendan. Roy pulls Cathy from the fire. Mary and Brendan's date is spoiled by some noisy children. Mary suggests they continue their date at Dev's as the house is empty. Brendan readily agrees. As Cathy is taken into an ambulance, she lets Roy accompany her but continues to show her disdain for Nessa, informing her that the fire started with the burning of her letters. Anna gets Craig and Caitlin to create a replacement mural for Maddie in the same spot as the old one. Sophie is touched while Kevin is grateful to Anna for the idea. Distraught Nessa tells Ken what happened, lamenting the fact that Cathy now hates her more than ever. Ken whisks her away to No.1, where he finishes with her. He explains that they're too different and it's too soon after Deirdre for him. Cathy is discharged from hospital and returns to the Street with Roy, having agreed to give it another go. Nessa leaves the Street, telling Audrey that Ken is all hers. Mary presses Brendan to show her that he isn't just stringing her along. After assuring her that she means everything to him, he leads a willing Mary up to the bedroom. Cathy decides to look on the fire as a clearing of the decks. Roy tells Cathy he loves her. Kevin visits Anna at the cafe and kisses her. Anna momentarily recoils, worried about how Sally will react, but Kevin tells her not to worry and they embrace.
