Episode 9597 (26th October 2018)

Plot
David describes his rape ordeal to Nick. Nick feels bad that he wasn't there for him at the time and offers his belated support, suggesting he moves back to the area. David says it's not necessary as it's all over now. Roy thanks Ali for saving his life. Mary grows ever more worried about Jude. The police enquire after the CCTV at the garage to clear Abi. Kevin finds the laptop missing from the office. Ken summons Sinead to No.1. Sinead isn't happy to find that Claudia is aware of her cancer. Kevin is certain that the CCTV laptop was nicked from the garage. Abi is arrested for theft as it appears to be an inside job. Chesney and Emma have dinner at the bistro, with Emma coaching Chesney on dating etiquette. She enjoys getting him to compliment her. Kevin makes it clear to DS MacKinnon that he doesn't trust Abi. Tracy hears him slagging her off and comes to her defence. Telling Seb about his mum's arrest, Tracy surreptitiously plants Abi's keys in her pocket at No.11. Shona questions Nick's loyalties when she finds him about to return to Nottingham, despite David's bombshell. He's pleased when Leanne invites him up to hers for a friendly chat. Ken tells Sinead she's left him with no choice but to inform Daniel about her cancer as she hasn't been honest with him about her health. Claudia rubbishes the idea and sticks up for Sinead, saying it's her secret to keep. Mary resolves to bring Jude home. Abi is questioned by the police and accused of sabotaging Michelle's car in exchange for drugs. Abi insists she's never heard of Ronan. Emma completes Chesney's training by getting him to kiss her. Leanne encourages Nick to stay longer if David needs him. Abi returns to the Street and protests her innocence to Kevin. He's disbelieving and says her kids are better off without her. Furious, she slaps him, causing Kevin to sack her from the garage. Nick calls "E" and says he has to remain in Weatherfield as Gail has taken a turn for the worse.
