Eileen reminds Todd, Jason and Dennis about Candice coming to tea. It is the day of the inquest - Emma gets flowers of support from her work colleagues and Ken and Alma wish her luck. Peter gives Ken a photo of Susan and Adam and Ken determines to do as Susan wanted and not let Mike see Adam. Steve and Karen spent the night together and nearly get caught out by Vik. It is nearly Norris's sixtieth birthday and he drops constant hints about it. Ken has a heart-to-heart with Peter, admitting he's worried about losing Adam to wealthy Mike. Peter tells Ken that Adam is well-off as Susan left all her money to Adam. The verdict is lawful killing, but Emma still feels bad towards Linda's family and doesn't feel like celebrating. Adam wants to know why Ken and Mike hate each other and Ken tries to be diplomatic. Ryan Sykes learns it was a woman who killed Dean and is stunned. When Ryan sees Emma outside the Rovers Linda has to restrain him as he is angry and upset. Candice's dinner goes well and she gets on well with Eileen. Todd invites her round the following night but Candice isn't sure about it. Vik catches Steve and Karen in a passionate clinch at the flat.
