Episode 7355 (7th June 2010)

Plot
With one dead body on the floor, Tony points his gun at his next victim - just as Maria bangs on the factory door. Panicking, Tony forces Carla, at gunpoint, to get rid of her, but when that fails Tony hauls a horrified Maria inside.

Seeing the corpse of Tony's first target motionless on the floor, Maria's terrified as Tony demands to know why she's there - it wasn't part of his plan. As Tony summons the courage to pull the trigger again, Maria's distress causes him to falter. Capitalising on his hesitation, Maria insists that it's not too late to let her walk out.

Tony talks over old times with Maria and insists that the time they spent together was the happiest of his life. Deciding he can't bring himself to hurt her, he lets Maria go, but as Carla warns him the police will soon be calling, he decides to accelerate his plan, and starts dousing the factory with petrol.

Back in her cell, Gail's convinced that she'll be found guilty. And after a bitter row with Tina, David breaks down in Nick's arms, blaming himself for Gail's plight.

Elsewhere, Gary arrives home on leave; and Sean reveals that all his attempts to contact Violet have failed.
