Episode 9844 (9th August 2019)

Plot
Gary explains that Derek is interested in buying the land, rebuilding the factory and leasing it out to Nick and the staff, provided that Gary is put in charge of the construction work. Alina explains to Seb that she and the other girls are in a Salvation Army safe house and it would be too complicated for her to stay at No.11 but she will keep in touch awaiting the trial to begin. Emma tells Maria that her dad knew something was wrong but has been hiding his condition from her for weeks. Nick tries to persuade Sarah to agree to Gary’s offer but she thinks it all sounds dodgy and they row. Steve finds out from James about Tommy Orpington's condition and that Evelyn knew before he placed his bet with her. He breaks the news to Tyrone that his grandmother is running an illegal gambling ring. Jo Lafoe tells Carla about her new internet sales business and asks her to run it. Johnny overhears the conversation. They agree to talk it over next week. Abi sees a saddened Seb saying his goodbyes to Alina. Nick informs Gary that there’s no deal but he circumvents him and informs Izzy of the opportunity. Carla advises Sarah to think carefully again while Izzy breaks the news to her colleagues that Sarah has vetoed the deal. They decide to call a shareholders’ meeting. Evelyn refuses to refund Steve’s money. Johnny expresses his concerns to Peter that Carla could be taking too much on if she takes up Jo’s offer. The factory staff discuss overturning Sarah’s decision. Emma speaks to her mother who is divorced from her father and lives in Australia but she refuses to return home for her. Seb accepts Abi’s offer to take him for a drink. Nick finds out that Derek wants an answer within half an hour and they all vote against Sarah. Gary is with Derek when Nick calls him with the answer. Nick and Sarah make their peace. Gary and Derek discuss their real deal: Derek will hand over the rebuilt factory to him as his property and his debt with Rick will be written off.
